Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

Indeed, clarity is good!

Yes. Typically, I change at least two things in my final working copy before
I tag it.
As well as pegging the revisions that I already mentioned, I also add the
msi installer I just built. This installer is not a versioned file, so never
appears anywhere in trunk, but I do want to keep an archive copy of the
exact installer that was shipped out, so it goes in the tag inside a Release
directory.
The benefit to me of doing it this way, is that I can create the tag can in
a single revision, incorporating all the pegged svn:externals properties,
the folder creation and the msi file add.
I could achieve this by creating the tag from inside the repo browser, but
it would use at least three revisions. I guess I could also change these
things to the trunk, tag from the trunk, then undo those changes in the
trunk, but that would use at least six revisions, and would be really messy
and bad for the trunk!
