That should actually say "read-only (by convention)" since there is no mechanism
currently to enforce that (outside of using authz_svn_module). Besides, the
text-base is a client-side artifact; the tag is server-side. There is nothing
wrong with switching a WC to a tag, making changes, then using 'svn diff' to
produce a patch suitable for submission to a project.
