From a subversion implementation perspective tags and branches are the
same thing, just a copy of "something" made at a certain point in time (at
least this is my understanding of it).
So you should be able to "move" your tag, using the merge command (the
merge should be trivial). This might not be nice (terminology wise), but
it should do the trick. If anyone knows a reason why not, please let me
know.
We have talked about using this mechanism to have a "nightly build" and
"weekly tested" tag scheme going, which will allow developers to have a
stable version to link to when working on their components.
