the point is that this is a use case for tags and that SVN
support of it would be useful, both at the API and command line
level.

Lots of the use cases you have are about creating tags and a
few where about using the information later. I wanted to give you
the use case that makes taging useful in my work.

I tend to work on Mac OS X and Unix so don't get to use TSVN.
But I'll check out that graph view and see if that is what I'm talking
about.
