I suspected it really depends on where you come from. The reuse
of the term "tag" for the concept of a copy at the start of the
Subversion project is debatable. While it might have made the
CVS-Subversion transition more attractive to early adopters, in
the long run it leads to the problem we currently see. I would
have prefered the a term like snapshot, but the damage is done.
I really doubt that the (efficient) snapshot concept of Subversion
is inherently more complicated than the revision alias scheme,
as suggested earlier.
