Use "Show Log" to get the log information. The "Repo-Browser" shows
what directories are available, but if you right click you still get the
"Show Log" option with that directory.
You can always just sidestep the shell integration , fire up a command
prompt and do "svn log [full path to the tag on the server]"
e.g. svn log http://my.server/BigJobs/Tags/OneThatWorked_1.0

However it certainly works for the tags and branches in the repository I
work from; a 'svn log' or TortiseSVN "Show Log" on the root directory of
a tag will show the complete history (although Tortoise prompts if I
want to stop on a Copy, and you have to answer "No").

"Branch/Tag" is a way of creating the branches/tags (which are, after
all, only copies as far as Subversion is concerned) that gives you a
user interface with file listings etc. And I do like it

I'd try checking this a bit more, as I think the operations work in
Subversion (I had several runs through a small test repository where I
just played with tags, branches and merges before being brave enough to
do this on the project source code)

As far as I know, the log entries always remain on the server. Good to
see hardware guys using Svn!

Cheers,
Rob

I've been doing exactly that, although through TortoiseSVN's Repo-man.
(Sorry, just hadda plug that film.) However, I went back and looked at
the logs (again, from Repo-Browse) for my tags, and the only log entry
is the one I made when creating the tag (e.g., "Tagged rev 1.26"). I
did press the "get all" button and still saw only that one log message.

(Probably a question for the TortoiseSVN list...) Is this what
TortoiseSVN's "Branch/Tag" feature does?

What's the best way to fix this? I suppose I'll have to determine what
revision corresponds to each tag, check out that revision, then use
"Branch/Tag" to actually create the tag?

Or maybe nothing's wrong. I can't test it right now (no access to the
repository) but maybe when I check out the tag, it pulls all of the log
entries for all of the files in the tag?

Sorry for all the newbie musing. I'm a hardware guy who has always
believed in the idea of revision control, but past experiences (um,
CVS?) have been frustrating. Subversions is easy enough for even a
hardware engineer to use!
