Making a tag from a mixed rev WC

[Chris Wein <cw...@mobilygen.com>]

Are there any risks from making a tag from a mixed revision working copy
that has no modified files in it whatsoever?  Basically, I want to
handcraft a WC with various "svn update"s, test it and then tag it by
doing a "svn copy wc url".  Does this work?

Now, I do believe there are real problems in copying a WC that has
modifications in it due to the extra commits required.

I do this all the time.  It works just fine.

Doing this seems to work just fine, too.  When you copy the WC, any 
local modifications are copied along with it.
