RE: Re: feature request: svn revision alias

I think the way to solve this is to give only build personnel write
access to the tags folder(s). Then they can create tags, and patch a
tag where appropriate (such as to fix a build error) by merging
developer changes from the trunk.

 (I'm not (yet) very familiar with subversion, so the following might be
incorrect)

I can see at least one disadvantage of the way how tags work:
since a tag is the same as a branch or a copy, it is possible that users
commit to a tag (by accident). This means that the tag then no longer
represents the same revision as when the tag was created. I'm sure such
a situation can easily be corrected, but still, with a distinctive tag
operation (named revisions) this might not happen.

Regards.
