-------------------------------------

Your patch seems to be great, I'll look at it in detail later.

> Subversion provider doesn't handle tag updates correctly

> When attempting to use Continuum I kept having problems where Continuum would 
> checkout the project fine, but always fail to update it on subsequent builds. 
>  Continuum forces you to specify a scmTagBase as well as a scmTag for 
> subversion projects.  The problem is that is passes the tag to the scm update 
> which ends up issuing a svn command with -r tagname 
> Example:
>     checkout command:
>         svn --non-interactive checkout 
> http://svn/projects/dmi-jdbc/branches/my-branch-name 6
>     update command
>         svn --non-interactive update -r branches/my-branch-name
> This probably works fine in cvs because a tag can refer to a revision or tag. 
>  In subversion, tags and revisions are obviously very different so the 
> SvnUpdateCommand should handle the two cases differently if you are 
> requesting a revision or an actual tag.
> I've created a patch which corrects  the problem and causes SvnUpdateCommand 
> to perform a switch to update whenever a non revision tag is specified.  I 
> believe this will produce the intended results, but I am also fairly new to 
> subversion and its possible it doesn't.
> Please let me know if you need more information.
