Yep, tags and branches are the "same physical" structures in SVN.

        Fagun-

         

        I'm not sure that I completely understand your question. In
Subversion, the terms "branch" and "tag" are just virtual concepts that
denote the same operation. To create a tag, you would need to invoke
the 'svn copy' operation, the same as you would a branch, hence why
TortoiseSVN puts them together in the context menu. Per the SVN
guidelines, the only difference would be that tags belong in
<repo_name>/tags whereas branches belong in <repo_name>/branches;
perhaps this answers your question? If not, can you restate it a little
more clearly?

         

        You may also want to pose this to the actual SVN list
(users@subversion.tigris.org); this list is specific to the Tortoise
shell extension.

         

        Thanks,

         

        -Bryan

                Hi,

                 

                Can anyone please help me out regarding following query?

                 

                Regards,

                Hi,

                 

                Can it be possible to create Tag without creating a
branch on SVN Repository? Can we do it by mentioned a perticular source
path (i.e., such as http://servername/svn/repos/tags) or mentioning a
specific log message (i.e., Tag for XX.XX.XX line or something?)?

                 

                Thanks,

                Fagun
