How to "label" correctly?

I found that usual labeling (tagging) doesn't exist in SVN and actually
I don't need it since I'm able to add a comment w/o commiting all the
data from my working dir. How to do it correctly? The case is when I
want to embed more meaningful info into the branch but not merely a
revision number.

Maybe properties are what he's looking for?  I don't follow the "but not
merely a revision number" comment, though.

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. Can you describe what
you'd like to do in a bit more detail?

Tags in Subversion are just directory copies, and so are branches. You
use them exactly as you'd use tags and branche in CVS. But I don't
understand what you mean by "embed more meaningful info into the branch".
