I'm surprised this is the only post mentioning Git Flow! I've been using it for a few years and absolutely love it. It's especially nice to have a methodology a CLI tool too.
I know right? I was expecting the article to be about Git Flow, but it wasn't. Then I was expecting the first comment I saw to be about Git Flow, but it wasn't. Then I was expecting at least one comment to be about Git Flow, but there weren't any.
This plus JIRA-123 ticket number works well for us, so feature/WEB-123_some_description_to_help is picked up by JIRA and branches and commits are linked to the ticket, sorted.
On the traceability side we tag commits and record these as releases in JIRA giving us requirement to deployment tracking.
For all the flack JIRA gets I've yet to see another system link things together as easily and clearly

master = current state of the live site.
develop = stable development environment that keeps all developers in sync.
feature/feature-name = unstable new features under development or refactoring that might break the site.
hotfix = fixing a critical bug on the live site.
