Tags should be created after a release has been announced. Before that, a Branch should be used. I have no idea if SubVersion supports deleting or moving tags. I know under Git I can delete or move tags without problems. What worries me now with the current tags in Lazarus, is that they don't have a clean history (specific snapshot in time). You wouldn't expect to do a 'svn up' after you checked out a tag - so some users might be missing those extra commits / merges. You also can't re-tag by simply using the last merged revision, because the history is not sequential any more. I'm not sure what would happen if you created a new branch (using original revision of tag) and recreated what some of those tags do, then re-tag the branch and then delete the branch... Can you do that? The joys of tags and branches under SubVersion! :-( In future I would recommend using branches and when a release is announced, then only create a tag.
