Mixed-revision tagging (was: Dropping Subversion)

I was surprised that this would work.

svn co file:///home/clkao/svn/test/bps/trunk rt-co
cd rt-co
svn up -r 250 lib/RT
svn up -r 220 html

svn cp -m 'snapshot' . file:///home/clkao/svn/test/rt-snap
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Out of date: 'rt-snap/lib/RT' in transaction '33o'

Actually I didn't think this feature is useful whatsoever when I implemented
the support for such tagging in my VCP cvs2svn converter. Now I'm quite
convinced that this is quite useful for reconstructing the `current' checkout
that `works', especially for doing deployment. Note that Perforce has the
simliar feature called label.
