making a retrievable snapshot

I am getting ready to make release of my application, which I have in svn.  Once I have my code like I like it, how do I make a snap shot of it for release.  I want to be able to go back at any time and retrieve this same snap shot.

This is also in the book:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.basic.in-action.html#svn.basic.in-action.revs

I really would recommend reading the book in its entirety; many basic 
questions like this are answered there.

In subversion the revision number is global for the repository.  That 
is, you can retrieve any file or directory tree at the state it was in 
at the time of that commit using that revision number.  However, it is 
common to copy trunk/branch revisions to tags for human-friendly names 
for revisions you expect to want to reproduce.

thanks, I read this and now I have another question...

When I commit a file, I get the message "Committed revision N" where N  
is some number,
right?  does N, the revision number apply just to the newly committed  
file?  Or are all
files in the repository bumped to that revision number?

I would suggest that you read the subversion book, especially this 
section from chapter 4:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.branchmerge.tags.html
