[Dev] Subversion directory structuring

[Philippe Bossut]

Sorry to be thick but the semantic difference between "tags" and 
"branches" is really lost on me, especially using SVN since there's no 
real differences between the 2...

So, why can't we have:
chandler/
    branches/
        0.6/
        release-0.6/

IOW, what do we gain by adding one extra bifurcation in the tree?

I infer from the threads that "tags" are "non modifiable" but is that 
something actively enforced or just a convention we decided to adopt?

Cheers,
- Philippe
