Subversion tags and branches are just copies. Unlike CVS, Subversion implements these concepts by copying directories with the svn copy command.

I know CVS better than subversion, but that is what I've always seen in past projects. It seems to me like this new release tree just introduces redundant mechanism (which I always find confusing).
Thanks for the info, trey

I have added a new directory in our open source tree /svn/webkit/releases. Under this directory will be tags of all the public releases of WebKit.
Here is how the directory is looking now:
Apple/Tiger/ - More releases to be added later. - Mac OS X Update 10.4.3 - Mac OS X Update 10.4.4 - Mac OS X Update 10.4.5 - Security Update 2006-001 - Security Update 2006-002 Apple/Panther/ - Exact releases to be added later.
Look for more old (and new) release tags that will be added over time. These tags pre-date the open source project and will not work with our modern build system.
