Ugh... this is why I don't like all that moving of branches to tags...
A "tag" or "label" should never be modified... its a point in time,
not indented (or expected) to be changed.
I believe that we would be doing ourselves a major favor by
following some SCM best practices... moving branches to tags is not
one of them... neither is changing code in a tag.
I'm sympathetic to your concern. However, we don't (to my knowledge)
have a documented release process for our projects. So, we're
currently leaving these practices in the hands of our release
managers. In this case, I did what the release manager asked me to do...
So, what do you feel would be the appropriate techniques for building
a release?
