Re: Subversion history: Why was/is tagging/branching implemented as copy?

Of course there are quite a few people that think that distinction between
tags and branching actually grew up for a reason and aren't just a product
of years of RCS systems "not thinking about the problem right".

We *like* the tag semantic of a read-only snapshot of history, have build
and development processes that rely on that semantic and would like that
semantic to be enforced by something other than social convention. :-)

*cries softly to himself "I just wanted CVS with directory versioning"*
