As someone fairly new to this myself, I'd guess mostly (b). It was one
of the things that took me the longest to wrap my head around (assuming
I have it right now). It doesn't help that folks here talk about tags
and branches as if they were two different things, when as near as I can
tell they aren't really.

It might be a bit easier for people to grok if the party line were
something like "SVN doesn't really have 'tags'; it uses branches (with
no changes on them) to accomplish the same thing". Instead of "Yeah, SVN
has tags, but they're a bit different from everyone else's tags in the
following seemingly arbitrary ways..."
