Personally I wouldn't bother with that tagging. You can work it out from your SVN history easily enough. > The branches/WICKET_2_0 and releases/WICKET_2_0 will be moving > targets.

Also, all this upper case is a hangon from CVS. Couldn't we have branches/wicket-2.0? >> 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.

No commits should be done to branches there. Changes should be made to a branch in /branches, and a release should be made from that. >> 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.
