title: Release management in SVN
body: <p>When I look in the SVN log I really wish I could see markers that tell me when releases were done. I've seen this in other version control systems such as PVCS and <a href="http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/cmdref/tag.html" rel="noreferrer">Perforce</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Can this be done in SVN? I've done a little bit of research and so far it looks like this sort of thing is not supported.</p>
  
  <h2>Edit</h2>
  
  <p>We don't want to have to copy our source to a different folder for each release. This results in a huge amount of unnecessary duplication <em>of files on the developers machine</em>  and only gives us a record of the revision number of each release. I can do that using a text document!</p>
  
  <h2>Edit2</h2>
  
  <p>My goal is to have a single view that shows me a chronology of my releases, between which I can see all of the code changes that took place between each release. This then makes it easier to compile release notes.</p>
