Re: Future support to real tags and real branches?

I'm obviously not getting what you mean, sorry.
Ans I am sure if I am wring - then someone else will be able to help.

But just in case you haven't already :
Perhaps you could read;
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.branchmerge

And perhaps more specifically
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.branchemerge.basicmerging.stayinsync

Which contains information about the reintegrate feature - recently added to SVN.

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.
