Re: [DESIGN] Aliases?

I feel you keep missing the point!  Look on your server there are NO 
directories "trunk/tags/branches"!

The '"directory" word and the phrase "cheap copies" may not have been 
the best terms for the designers to use but those functions are only 
managing hierarchical names in a database structure!! NO REAL 
DIRECTORIES!  The 'directory' terms were just a common metaphor that 
makes a very powerful tagging system easy to understand.  If any 
thing I would suggest some interface scripts that change the phrasing 
form 'copy' to 'tag' in your command line options.  It will me more 
confusion but will address you concern that SVN uses the word 
'directory' to mean 'more powerful hierarchical tags'.  If SVN 
created all those 'directories' on my server would agree with your 
arguments, but it does not!

Thanks!  SVN developers I LOVE the "cheap copy" "directories" 
metaphor as a way to got more powerful tags and other of the other 
half dozen or so systems I have lived with!
