Moving a tag

[Nicklas Norling <ni...@ifsab.se>]

Hi.
 
I have a question that I haven't been able to find an answer for.
I'm hoping anyone of you have a solution.
 
I've got a continuous integration server building code from trunk
but would also like to setup a more stabile build environment
based on some more well tested version of the code.
 
In CVS I created a tag 'latest_build' and then used to "move"
that tag to newer versions as they where tested.
 
I can't seem to find any references to how this would be done
in subversion.
 
Can it be done? If so, how would I go about. And if it's not possible
is there a work around?

How about something like this?

1) Use the ~/projname/tags area for regular tags (as described in
documentation) (if needed)

2) maintain one tag call "latest_build" in the ~/projname/tags area as
well.

3) When a new "stable" tag is created, (or when the trunk seems stable
enough or when you have a working copy that seems stable enough, *svn
delete* the old latest_build tag (if any), and then *create a new
one*.

Try e.g

$ cd ~/projname/
$ ls
  trunk tags branches
$ svn delete tags/latest_build
$ ls tags
  [no latest_build here]
$ svn copy trunk tags/latest_build
$ svn commit
