Re: release stamping (not revision stamping) in the SVN world?

As cmpilato already pointed out, you can index your repository by
branch, rather than by project. It doesn't matter.

Actually -- the important thing to remember here is that there *is* no
policy at all. A tag is just a regular directory, created via "cheap
copy". Organize your repository however you wish; the distinction
between a tag, branch, and directory is only in your mind. Hopefully
your repository structure will remind you how you want to think of
each.

The $Revision$ keyword has nothing at all to do with the 'branding' of
your sources. Take a look at how the Subversion project does it: we
manually increment the software release numbers in our svn_version.h
header whenever we hit a new milestone. If you want, you can make a
tag as well.
