If you are really strict, there is no need to keep any tag, as you can resolve everything using revisions. The idea of the START_RELEASE_ tag is that it marks the starting point for a release, identifying the exact repository state which will comprise the release. The branches/WICKET_2_0 and releases/WICKET_2_0 will be moving targets. So you'll have to do some svn wizardry to get the actual revision that started the branch. > 2) After "commit changes to releases/WICKET_2_0", shouldn't we have a > "copy releases/WICKET_2_0 to tags/RELEASE_WICKET_2_0"? Possibly, but I don't see changes to a build occurring after the last commit of a particular release. So anyone could check out the releases/WICKET_2_0 folder and have the release from svn. However I'm not against doing so. > Notes: > I don't like the idea that we're not tagging the exact release > version, which is the dichotomy introduced by the 'release branch' > idea.

Or just use the source provided in the distribution? Equivalent: * checkout head from releases/WICKET_2_0, * checkout tags/RELEASE_WICKET_2_0 (as you propose) or * download and unzip the distribution(s) ;-) For creating a patch, or diffing, or any other purpose: * checkout tags/START_RELEASE_WICKET_2_0 Martijn -- Download Wicket 1.2.1 now!
