Hi again,

What do you mean? 'svn log' does not "do a diff". It just lists
the log messages and possible files affected.

You mean you want to replace files inside the tagged directory?
That's generally considered bad practice. You should consider
using a "release branch" for your releases instead of modying tags.
This will allow you to apply fixes to your releases without
changing tags. Please read this:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.branchmerge.html
Take note of this section in particular:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.branchmerge.commonpatterns.html#svn.branchmerge.commonpatterns.release

Hope this helps,
Stefan
