The last fives steps are easier to do: |
| 16 |
# svn ci # could even omit this, but that's bad practice |
| 17 |
# svn mv . ../../tags/2.0.53-something |
| 18 |
# cd ../.. |
| 19 |
# svn ci |

It is, but the concept of a tag in vcs (as I understand it) is that |
| 32 |
it's immutable, and branches are the mutable counterpart. Technically |
| 33 |
it doesn't matter to svn. |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |
| 41 |
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
