Jim,
Keeping track of the betas is _really_ easy in SVN. Assuming you have
write access to the SVN repository, right click on the mainline "trunk"
folder and select "Copy to ...". In the URL that comes up, replace
"trunk" with "tags/<beta name>" and let 'er rip. Bingo! A beta version.
But that presumes that the development team is being "good" about properly
labeling tags, etc.
Note that this DOES NOT actually copy the files, only the repository
version at the instant of beta creation. When files are downloaded from
the beta directory of the repository, SVN reconstructs the proper file
versions.
