Using TortoiseSVN, how do you tag the code?

Is the process to branch exactly the same?

I know you have to just copy the code to the /tag/ folder, but how?

i.e. I want to copy revision # to a tag#.

Will it affect the /trunk/ at all?

How to create a tag :

  1. Right click on your repository local copy
  2. Choose Create a branch or a tag...
  3. Choose URL of the tag (normally at the same level that trunk you have a tags folder)
  4. Choose which revision you want to tag (Usually, you will choose HEAD revision. Why ? Because normally tags are to mark a state of your repository typically for release management, and then when you have the repository state wished, you tag it and then continue the development.

Yes, it's almost the same process that for branches, the difference is "conceptual".

No effect to your trunk !
