Given that SVN is inherently different from CVS in its tagging
mechanism (and no amount of discussion is going to convince the devs
others - see the archives and you'll see what I mean), why not set up a
branch that students can submit their work to instead?
So you'd have something like:
/students/<student id>/<project>
/projects/<project>/<initial>
/projects/<project>/<submit>/<student id>/<project>
You can then put mark <project>/<submit> read-only when the deadline
passes so that students cannot submit further; and they can simply
merge into <project>/<submit>/<student id>/<project> for updates.
Just a thought,
