Correct, not revision properties (svn:log, svn:author and friends), but versioned properties. > I think having the properties will be handy but I would also like to > continue investigating the creation of some sort of "tags" folder as > well, due to the difficulty involved in "checking out by property" in > Subversion. One of the biggest benefits of a conceptual "label" is the When versioned properties change you can commit them in their own revision, even though the file contents have not changed. This creates something that you can checkout.
