I'm somewhat of a newbie to Subversion but I do realize that the notion
of "tags" is subversion is purely logical. Subversion really has no
notion of tags. Its simply by use of copies and a logical tags/ folder
in the repository which most people happen to use do you arrive at
something resembling a tag.

Its actually pretty clever how Subversion can be made to appear to
support tags but maybe the cleverness is why people get confused by
implementing tags in Subversion. Perhaps to Tim's point.
