Yes this is my major concern with SVN, the total lack of tagging and branching support.
Gordon. This just isn't accurate. Several posts in this discussion - not even all of them being mine - have indirectly or directly explained that svn does have branching/tagging.
Sam <snip> The only difference between a branch and a tag is a convention to not commit to a tag; CVS would enforce that by its very nature, whereas in CVS there is no inherent difference between a branch, a tag, and just copying files around.
This is true of SVN's default behaviour. I've been schooled this evening by Sam that SVN pre-commit hooks can make SVN emulate CVS's definition of a tag perfectly. So I'm no longer concerned about this issue. -Angie
