I've been following this discussion from the beginning, and to be
honest, I don't understand why there's any discussion at all!
I do not think that the subversion notion of 'tags' is weird in any way.
If I want to know the "state of branch-X.Y.Z" I simply do an
$ svn log svn://path/to/branch-X.Y.Z
and look at the result. I find this really useful, as I DON'T have to
worry about the specific revision number assigned by Subversion.
I'm sorry, but I fail to see how labelling a specific revision (giving
that revision an alias) makes this any easier. I suppose that not using
CVS or VSS was an advantage, as I came to Subversion with an open mind.
