Re: Is label support in future release?

I agree, tags provide all the needed features, but they're far too
complex (and expensive in terms of ease-of-use if nothing else) to be
used as labels. I would like to be able to label my repo at the point
I do a release, but I have no intention of treating it as a branch,
just a convenient way of getting that code back. Currently I'm using
the datestamp on my release log as a means of doing an export of a
particular point in the repo's history.

It's the one feature missing from SVN as far as I'm concerned.
