I would probably create a topic/fix branch:

1) figure out the proper parent for the bug fix
2) create the fix branch and move to it
    $ git co -b fix-feature-whatever parent
3) implement the fix
4) commit the fix
5) checkout HEAD
6) merge with the commit from step 4

And also merge on release branch if needed.
