The svn directory tags/ is there to place 'tags' (duh ;-) on specific revisions in the repository. These tags can be anything, including the identification of a release, release candidates, or specific bug-fixes. IMHO the de-facto way of working with svn is to use tags/ for all these kind naming of revision. It is completely possible to do it differently, with the (small) penalty that this devition from the norm needs to explained over and over, because people are used to the de-facto way of working.
