question clarification needed (tagging with embedded externals)

First want to point out that the link to the pdf docs aren't working at: http://tortoisesvn.net/support > help > docs

Second, a bit of clarification, ok so i have a project with embedded externals, if i do a tag to "back-up" a specific release - does the tagged version convert the external into a quasi-revisioned copy?

for instance consider:

./proj_x/a
./proj_x/b
./proj_x/c
./proj_x/d

where "./proj_x/d" contains the original files that are selected as externals, and are used in submodules a-c:

as in:

./proj_x/a/d (as external link to ../d)
./proj_x/b/d (as external link to ../d)
./proj_x/c/d (as external link to ../d)

so when i i tag "./proj_x"
to ../tags/proj_x_ReleaseC_1

and someone else uses that tagged info (via checkout) to build the project (proj_x_ReleaseC_1) - will they get the externals relative to the tagged release (proj_x_ReleaseC_1), or will they get the most recent versions of the externals (proj_x/d)?

Im hoping they get the externals relative to the tag (proj_x_ReleaseC_1) but wanted to clarify before tagging the 'proj_x' release in the repo.
