What is "this-rev"? The Subversion revision? The CVS file revision?

What range? No range has been mentioned so far. And what do you mean
by "adjust"?

Do the .db files for *all* branches exist (or need to exist), albeit
without any content, before we begin the above "for each branch:"

And where in the list the Subversion revisions will we squeeze in
these branching/tagging operations?

Yucky, but hopefully people don't branches their branches too deeply,
too often.
