If you use perforce tags as 'labels', subversion also doesn't have
that. Tags in subversion are cheap copies which is not the same
thing. (though you can somewhat approximate it) Another thing about
perforce is that it knows where everybody's working copy is and there
is no metadata within the working copy. The subversion server doesn't
know anything about working copies.
