What you say is true, but still it would be nice if people had an
efficient way to ask "What tags is this particular version of this
file in?" The fact that Subversion doesn't offer a clean way to do
this is a deficiency that we should rectify someday, IMHO. Just
because we version trees doesn't mean we should forget about files :-).
