Off the top of my head, your release process/script could simply
create a 'release' tag with whatever structure you wish. It need not
correspond to a single complete copy of trunk although as other
posters point out, it is rather conventional. If your trunk includes
things that are entirely extraneous to your release, you could take a
subtree, or even build up a subtree under the tag from disparate
directories (you might want to do this in a single commit, perhaps
using svnmucc http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/client-
side/svnmucc/ )
IANAE but I suggest you simply do what is most comfortable and
logical for your release process.
