I completely agree with you Wolfgang on this. Subversion definitely lacks
a lightweight keyword tagging mechanism.

Let's lobby for its inclusion in a future release ! :)

In the meantime, how about using a simple text file containing the mapping
between revision numbers and friendly names ? As you said, thanks to
global repository versionning, each version is in fact a tag, sadly
numerical only.

I am about to propose this approach in our repositories, instead of
(heavy) copies.

Any comment on this ?
