Hi David,
thx for your thoughts and also for your advice. I know that
I shouldn't and also won't work with the tags... there was
just one piece missing in my mind... to delete the ./svn
in the /tags directory.. better is your idea about doing
just an export, never thought about it before..
greets
clemens
