In Subversion, a tag can be promoted to a branch. With the way the global 
revisions works, tagging doesn't seem as important as it was with CVS, but it 
still seems like a good practice to follow.

Generally, you only need to branch when you

* Need to fix something between scheduled releases
* Want to experiment with a revolutionary line of development.

The Java team is alternating odd and even releases, for bug-fixes and features, 
but I don't know if we need to adopt that practice for the C# code base.

We have a ticket in regarding the eyebrowse archive.

* http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-138

I'm sure it will be fixed eventually.
