That's what tags are for. Let's say you want to release 7.1b from the current 7.1 branch: svn copy -m "Tagging 7.1b release" https://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vim/branches/vim7.1 https://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vim/tags/vim7.1b Copies are very space-efficient in svn, which is why they are the mechanism for both branching and tagging. --Greg
