Some clients like TortoiseSVN have a feature that will pin the external to the revision you are copping when doing the tag. Otherwise, you have to do it manually before or after you create your tag.

We have defined a structure such that child projects have link from a parent project. Parent project -> child project_1 -> child project_2 -> child project_3 However, when you go to tag a release for a child, there's nothing in the /tags/Rel_X as I would normally expect. What's going on here? Amad
