Is it safe to create a tag the following way so that I can do what I want? svn upgrade svn copy -m "Creating a Tag" https:/url/svn/test/HelloWorld/trunk@%PROMOTED_SVN_REVISION% https://url/svn/test/HelloWorld/tags/%Tst Tag% copy C:\Users\user\.jenkins\jobs\HelloWorld_Promote\builds\%PROMOTED_ID%\archive\Test\buildnum.txt C:\Users\user\.jenkins\jobs\HelloWorld_Promote\workspace\Test svn delete -m "Deleting file before updating" https://url/svn/test/HelloWorld/tags/%Tst Tag%/Test svn copy -m "Adding updated file to tag" C:\Users\user\.jenkins\jobs\HelloWorld_Promote\workspace\Test https://url/svn/test/HelloWorld/tags/%Tst Tag%/Test
Doing it this way, I can select a build and promote it using the promote build plugin. It first creates a tag at the builds revision. It then copies that builds artifacts to the workspace so it can then add it to the tag that was just created.
