Ok, I think I see your point. You're saying http://.../tags/1.0 isn't a
tag because somebody can commit a change to that URL. That makes sense.
Would it be sufficient to specify a tag as both a revision and a URL?
That tag is immutable because every subsequent change results in a new
revision. So...
svn -r 12345 checkout http://.../tags/my-tag
The tuple (12345,http://.../tags/my-tag) should be immutable. Or have I
misunderstood the problem?
