Subversion is a versioned file system and it doesn't have tags in the
CVS sense. The usual way to implement tag like behaviour is to
create a directory in the repository named after the tag and copy the
project into it. In your case you'd only be copying the files for
the upgrade, not the whole project.
I normally organise my repository like this:
/project_a/trunk - ongoing development code
/project_a/branches - branches for new/experimental stuff
/project_a/tags/1.0
/project_a/tags/1.1
/project_a/tags/2.0
etc
(Actually I take advantage of the flexibility of subversion and I
actually call the tags directory "releases" but I'll stick with the
usual terminology here.)
Each subdirectory of tags is created as follows:
svn cp <url>/project_a/trunk <url>/project_a/tags/<release number>
That copies the whole project. You only want some files so you'll
have to use svn mkdir to create the directory structure under the
tags directory and svn cp the files in individually. You'll also
probably want to do it all in a working copy in order to make the
patch creation appear atomic.
Pretty soon you are going to get bored of that so you'll figure out a
way to automate it. If your users are on Unix, you can make the tag
by svn copying the whole project as I do and then run svn diff
against the previous release and the new release. The output is in
unified diff format and is suitable for input to patch(1) (I think:
others on the list can correct me, if I'm wrong).
