Hi all,

Since I started on Subclipse, I'll ask one last related question on this
subject here - I hope people don't mind. I'm not subscribed to the
Subversion mailing list, but will do so now!

I can see your reasoning re: having the branches and trunk under the
project heading, but what do you do it you DO want to tag your whole
development (or at least a large part of it)? It seems with Subclipse I
cannot multiply select items in Eclipse repository view (or C++ Projects
view) and branch/tag them in one go, I would need to create some sort of
parent folder which holds all the project sub-parts , and tag that to
get a multiple set of projects tagged in one go. Is that the approach
people tend to use, or as poster above says, do multiple tags in
parallel?

I must add that I am using an old version of subclipse (1.06), at least
until we upgrade to a newer version of Eclipse (which *hopefully* will
be soon)

James
