I'm glad you said this. I now know that you are very familiar with version
control concepts and so the feature that you are asking for that you call
"labels" is probably really useful. (To begin with, I thought you were a newbie.)

Please remember, when you use words like "labels", "remove version" and "evil
twins", that you know what you mean but I don't.
By the way, you can find lots of information without parsing through the log
output.

As you learn about Subversion you will discover the answers to most of those
questions. Then you will be able to say how the feature you want is better
than what Subversion currently provides.
I look forward to having your help.
