Proposed New Feature (Revision Aliases)

From: TBrowder <tbrowder_at_cox.net>

Let me give one more argument for this feature--size:

When a repository has lots of modules, and each module has lots of
tags, the current deisgn of subversion is such that the directory tree
is very busy.

Our main CVS repository for our deliverable has over 100 modules, each
with multiple tags to stamp key history points in development. That
seems to me to be a major limitation of the subversion method of
tagging: the ugliness and confusion of the directory tree.

And the point made aboout CVS not preventing tags from being moved,
that's strictly true, but only because security is so loose in it.
