jQuery uses SVN (Subversion) to control and track changes to the code. SVN projects are usually setup with a trunk and a tags folder.
Brandon does all of his work in the trunk folder which will always have the latest and greatest and maybe some features that aren't stable. Once he gets the "trunk" to a stable point and wants to release it he will "tag" (or checkpoint (or copy)) the trunk to say tags/1.0.0. Then any changes he makes to trunk will not change any of the code at tags/1.0.0. So this helps in tracking specific releases as we can look at the tags folder and see the individual releases and ignore all the minor and experimental changes to trunk. Hope this makes sense!

Hi, Can one of you explain to me what 'tagging it' is about, and how I can use it to keep track of changes/releases? Thanks, Adam Jonathan Sharp wrote: > > Thank you! That will be very useful!
