Eh... CVS tag = SVN branch? Whatever, the things that are
No, CVS tag = SVN tag
not trunk and from which you can get a named historic version
(=revision?) of what used to be in trunk :-)
In SVN, there is no distinction between tags and branches (or indeed trunk).
They are all just directory names.
But the convention is to use
trunk
for mainline code;
branch/branch-name
for any parallel developments (which may one day get merged into trunk); and
tags/tagname
to identify a snapshot which does not change.
SVN does not prevent anyone from updating any of the directories,
whereas as I recall, CVS tags were not as easy to update once created.
So a release can be developed in a branch or the trunk; before the
release is finally built the current files should be copied to a
subdirectory of tags.
The tags subdirectory should not be updated once created.
It's called "level" in CMVC, and I just don't want to spend
my time on learning a separate vocabulary for every source
repository system out there :-(
cheers,
Roland
