 ./trunk should always be the latest, and when he's ready to release a
version bump, he can just create a new tag from ./trunk.

1/1/08 - Cut release 1.0
tag trunk as 1.0 (results in ./tags/1.0)

2/1/08 - Cut release 1.1
tag trunk as 1.1 (results in ./tags/1.1)

etc. etc

You can find out more about tagging from svnbook.org
