Sorry to keep pestering, but you normally want both to be there. Stuff
in tags is supposed to be static. The idea being that you can use
6.3-rc1 as a benchmark to compare the next rc or release. During this
phase, we would have
trunk
branches/6.3
tags/6.3-rc1
trunk moves forward, diverging from branches/6.3 as new things are
merged in. Things get fixed in branches/6.3 (and possibly in trunk if
it still applies). Eventually, we have rc2. Now we have
trunk
branches/6.3
tags/6.3-rc{1,2}
That's convenient since now you have a copy of the tree from rc1 and
rc2. With SVN, this is not enforced, and it's also bloated as a full
copy is done, but it's still a good idea in the meantime. That's why
the branches/tags functionality is there.
When 6.3 final is released, we can probably remove the -rc* tags and
maybe the 6.3 branch if we don't expect to backport any more fixes.
Do you agree?
