I think of tag-branches as effort saving devices that spare me from having to
svn copy tags/PRODUCTION branches/production
vi branches/production/config.conf
...
svn rm tags/PRODUCTION
svn copy branches/production tags/PRODUCTION
when a hostname changes in prod and I need to backfill a config file.
Should we call them tag-branches or branch-tags? And should they be first
class objects? ;-)
