I don't like the tags either.

In my opinion, the back-compat tags are not really needed. The checkout

Whenever you commit something in the backwards branch, you set the revision
number in common-build.xml and you are done. No need for a extra tag, for me
this was always not clear, why we need tags.
What do others think? I could change the build script to do this.

Subject: RE: "back_compat" folders in tags when I SVN update
I have http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk/ and
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/tags/ checked out.
I think having all this "back_compat" folders, under the "tags" can be
very
confusing, especially for someone who looks in "tags" in search of a
released version and finds all the "back_compat" folders not knowing what
they mean (there is more "back_compat" folders than actually release
tags!)
If we are using "tags" for back-compat testing, aren't we overloading the
meaning of the "tags" folder?
I prefer to see "tags" used for what it is, a place to park an actually
released; it shouldn't be used for testing or its content changed
dynamically.

Are you saying you have "http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/";
checked out in it's entirety?
That seems ... problematic. New tags/branches could be created at anytime
-- it's even possibly to have Hudson autotag every build if we wanted.
Server side these tags are essentially "free" but if you checkout at the
top level you pay the price of local storage on update.
I would rethink your checkout strategy.
