Tag management is something that would be good to have in Subclipse,
however I think it would be better to look at the revision numbers
at which tags were created and use those, rather than inventing another
concept. You can find the version at which a tag was created by doing
a log --stop-on-copy. The last (oldest) version in the log is the
version
where the tag was created.
You would need some mechanism for people to indicate their tag schema.
In particular you would need to support both
http://server/repos/tags/project
and http://server/repos/project/tags formats (since these are both
suggested
in the book).
