What do you mean by module alias? The name of the module is simply a
higher level directory name in subversion.

Are you aware of the suggested repository layout?

This is kind of a loaded statement.
  
When you "tag" something in SVN you basically create a new directory.
This new directory is a set of pointers to files at specific revisions.
Make sense?

When you make your tag, the result can be found in your repository at:
          /tags/TAG1

While the head of the code base would live at:
          /trunk/mymod/

svn co https://your.repository.ca/tags/TAG1

Which would be the moda1 files!

Perhaps a real life example can benefit. These are the tags made by
subversion for each release!
