Yep, thanks, found it. Now, I have a question. We appear to really have a tag and a branch with the same name. The creator of them should be shot (neither name conforms to our standards, we prefix all tags with T_ and all branches with B_ for CVS, thankfully we can ditch that nomenclature with svn), but, that said, why does Subversion care? If it can differentiate that one is a branch and the other is a tag, couldn't it "Do the Right Thing(tm)?" Not that I really care, I'm going to delete both the tag and branch in this case, this is more for my curiosity ;-)

Thanks!

Cheers,
Craig
