Future support to real tags and real branches?

Hi all,

sorry if the question has been already made, I cannot find trace of that.

I don't know if it's only me, but I really feel SVN is missing support for real tagging and real branches. Having to simulate these features with copies is quite painful, especially when I work with branches. In fact in that case, it's quite clumsy to produce the usual work flow:

- create branch
- make changes
- merge from trunk
- changes
- merge again from trunk
- ...
- switch back to trunk and merge from branch

This work flow currently has to be simulated in SVN by fiddling with revision numbers. To me it's just crazy, it would be much better if SVN understood what branches are and was able to understand the common mean assigned to "merge from X", i.e.: only the last changes from the last merging or creation.

Do the SVN developers plan to support these features in future versions? I really would like they do.

Thanks in advance for a kind reply

Marco.
