Re: Creating a complex tag with the list of files changed necessary for a bug correction

That is a very odd way to use Subversion. A tag in Subversion is merely
a pointer to a given point in time in the repository, not like CVS where
tags are associated with a list of files.

Normally, you would commit all of those changes in a single commit and
thus that changeset would constitute what files were changed. If you
want to associate that changeset with a specific bug ticket, you would
add that bug ticket to the commit message (say if you were using
something like Trac).

Alternatively, you can develop a bugfix in a branch and when you are
complete, you merge it as a single commit (again associating that commit
with the bug ticket). The branch can be left as is for the other
developers to see or deleted once merged.
