Subject: Re: CVS and SVN: Tags and Branches.. A question of strategies

Thanks for the info. My basic question is
    "what's the best way to replicate the following CVS promotion based
development pattern in SVN":
            - all developers work on mainline
            - when we have a new build, we duplicate an existing tag and
update it with new versions of files on the mainline.
            - the new tag contains some, but not all updates since the
last build.
________________________________

Forgive me if this is obvious, but I'm confused. You say that you copy
an existing tag and then update it with new versions of files from the
trunk/mainline? How then to you commit your revisions to the repository?
CVS tags are "sticky" (meaning that you can't change tagged files and
check in a revision) aren't they?
