P.s.: There must also be a tag under
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/devicemap/tags/
Equivalent to "java" where the Java client(s) get tagged, you likely have a
"csharp" and "vbnet" folder and subfolder "1.0.0" (or whatever your
preferred version is) containing each .NET module you wish to release.

I noticed, Radu put one in the highly disturbing (and totally inconsistent[?])
place
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/devicemap/trunk/browsermap/tags/browsermap-1.4.1-rc1/
So unless BrowserMap can resolve that (tempted to revoke my +1 for it) I
find it extremely useful to collect official release tags (in SVN that's
just a second pointer, it normally won't waste much space, especially for
source files) as Bertrand suggested
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/devicemap/tags/releases/
<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/devicemap/tags/>

What about that?
