What workflow 'follows' a tag? If you commit your workspace to
the trunk or wherever you are working _and_ copy it to the
tag from your workspace, you know what is in the tag and you've
made the change available for the ongoing work. If other
changes are happening on the trunk, other ways of making the
tag may not end up with the same thing you have. What if
someone else commits changes before yours and you don't
update before your commit? This means your workspace may
always be in the 'mixed-rev' mode and you won't want the tag
to match any other repository state.
