I honestly don't know what people generally do when they branch or
tag. I'll look around. I imagine that yes, they should be updated
for each tag or branch.
They are used: to display in the maven generated site for instructions
on checking out, for maven changelog reports, for interacting with svn
via mvn (not sure why you'd want to), and for the maven release plugin
(helps automate tagging, version number updating, etc. for a release -
I haven't used it yet)
If all these are used for is stuff we don't actually use (we don't
generate a web site, we don't use maven for releases, etc) and they
add overhead by requiring us to tweak a whole lot more stuff every
time we release (on top of the ridiculous amount of stuff maven
already seems to require us to tweak for every version change) I'd
suggest just not having it.
