Re: [XMLPipeDB-developer] GM Builder post taxon merge

[John D. N. D. <do...@lm...>]

Yes, tags and branches are structurally identical in Subversion.  The only difference between a “tag” and a “branch” is that the developers have agreed to *not* touch a tag after it has been copied out.

In other words, “tags” and “branches” are only different in Subversion by consensus.  The distinction is not system-enforced.

This way, you have an easy basis for comparison if you need to go back to how the trunk was before name2taxon came along.
