Subversion logo
I’m a user of a subversion server on a day to day basis and its probably the best free code repository that is out there. It is fantastic to use and really simple to update and manage using things like Tortoise SVN.
But today I released that our repository had not been tagged to ensure that we could extract at certain levels easily. I had a google and it looks like from windows its not easy to do the tag unless you have the working repository complete checked out. When the size of the respository is probably 100MB and I do not usually have it all checked out its not good.
So after a bit more googling and thankfully I have a linux machine I have access to I found the command that makes creating tags really simply by running a single command that uses the servers own copy and creates the tag without checking out anything.
svn copy -r <revision> https://myrepro/project/trunk https://myrepro/project/tags/mytag -m "My Tag"
There must be a tool that can run this command on windows but I did not see one obviously.
