--------------------------------

George,
It seems to work on Windows.
Yes I agree with you it is overkill. but either we resolve the worst scenario with this overkill solution or we use a lighter solution that doesn't cover all situations....
Personnally, I prefer the simple solution where we tag from the repository.

> In theory, you shouldn't tag or branch from a local and potentially different version of the code.  From what I can tell, the scm:tag imports your existing code into a new tag.  With subversion, tagging is very lightweight if you do a 'svn copy trunk_url tag_url'.  The way it currently works make sense for other repositories such as CVS but not for subversion.
