A human somewhere makes a choice when extracting the source from SVN
or any source control system to specify the tag. The build systems
with which I currently work (CVS-based, incidentally) are given a tag
as input, and extract, build, and package the resulting components.
Included in that activity is recording the given tag where it is
desired.

In any event, it sounds like you're covered.

Thank you,
