   Subversion, actually, does not have a builtin notion of tags and
branches. Svn operates on trees. But one can name theese trees. The
names are just URIs, so one can name them in whatever way one prefers.
"Tags" and "branches" are just two examples of the naming.

   Probably. Ian has not created a strict policy on that beside the

   There was no.

   Then use the latest checkout from the trunk. I think it is in a more
or less stable state (now). Run tests. This is the best you can get now.
