You can run the Create Tag option from the WC but create it against the
URL. Plus, there are times when you want it to include the local changes.
The bottom line on this is to just do whatever the right thing is. Only
you can know that.

It doesn't and can't. So what? Should we have not added the feature? Is
it that hard to manually manage the property?

What don't you get here? The property is not set on the tagged copy --
EVER. It is set on the SOURCE of the tagged copy. If you make a tag from
trunk, then trunk needs the property, not the tag.

I think you just do not understand the feature correctly, or you would not
be asking this. I have answered it correctly each time. The property is
not set in the target -- EVER.

I do not know what would be an FAQ entry, and this is one of the first
conversations I can ever remember happening since this feature was
implemented. Hardly anyone has ever even mentioned the feature, despite
several people begging for it for months.
