Thanks Simon
Externals seems to be a good idea, I will try it as an alternative. I
do not believe that subversion really need to implement labels as it is
already powerful enough to handle any scenario. It is just a matter of
deciding on a way to implement it in the frontend using the existing
functionality i.e. branches or externals or hooks.
