John, are you aware of a way to "label" a tree in Subversion? In VSS you can apply a label to a whole project, and then if you need to you can deploy a specific label, or roll back to a specific label. I can't find a similar function in Subversion...I can see the history of individual files but don't see a way to label, get or rollback a whole tree to a previous state.
