That's odd since this is one of the major advantages that Subversion has
over CVS (for me at any rate). When you branch or tag in CVS it will sit
there and create a copy of every single file in the repository.
Depending on the size of your projects this can take a while.
Maybe it's just the whole structure thing I don't understand:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.tour.importing.html#svn.tour.importing.layout
If you already have your project in subversion, how do you branch it?
Compare that to:
cvs tag -b "branch name" module_name
;)
Ok, this is where you need to understand the fundamental difference
between how CVS and Subversion work. For CVS branching and tagging are
operations in themselves. In Subversion they're just copies. How you
layout your repository is up to you, but the recommended layout is
usually used because you need somewhere in the repository to put
branches and tags.
As for how to do it... think of it as simply copying files and it should
make sense...
svn copy svn+ssh://server/repos/trunk svn+ssh://server/repos/tags/mytag
So, that wasn't too hard was it? It's different to CVS, and it does
require that you think about your repositories in a slightly different
way, but to me it's a lot more flexible and it's definitely more
efficient than CVS. But it's all down to personal choice.
