This is a model I would like too see implemented, creating a tag every time a 
release gets put out the door. Might be something worth doing once 1.7 is 
officially released. Might be nice if we could even work some historical tags 
too.

The nice folks over at GnomeSword, Hi Karl and company :-), recently reworked 
their repo in a similar fashion.

Much of the net benefit of using SVN over CVS is the ability to share better 
among developers, tag, branch and merge far more effectively.

I think once the new structure is in place, it puts us in a better position to 
dabble with things like git for personal testing.

I will get out of the pulpit now.
