Read the release process from start to finish, and you'll see a step
(8) where the branch gets moved to become a tag :-).
Also would strongly suggest using 'svn log' to explore the things
Michael Price has done on his release branches. All the history's
right there, might as well use it...

Michael could best answer where he gets these from, if it's not
obvious from looking at your working copy and/or the various README
and INSTALL files in the Subversion tree.
