GIT Commit to an existing Tag
1) Create a branch with the tag
git branch {tagname}-branch {tagname}
git checkout {tagname}-branch
2) Include the fix manually if it's just a change ....
git add .
git ci -m "Fix included"
or cherry-pick the commit, whatever is easier
git cherry-pick {num_commit}
3) Delete and recreate the tag locally
git tag -d {tagname}
git tag {tagname}
4) Delete and recreate the tag remotely
git push origin :{tagname} // deletes original remote tag
git push origin {tagname} // creates new remote tag
5) Update local repository with the updated tag (suggestion by @wyattis)
git fetch --tags
