[pLog-svn] Which one should I use?

To clear the confusion:

- You should never commit to a folder under tags/. Svn is not going to
prevent you from doing it because svn has no concept of "tags", while
cvs did. Tags in svn are just a copy a source code tree at a certain
time and as a self-imposed rule, we never make changes to tags. Of
course we could always remember that 1.0.2-beta corresponds to
revision 2454 of the repository, but marking it with a tag is always
easier :)

- The 1.0.2 *branch* is still open for bug-fixes. After all, what we
released last weekend is just a beta (and it was tagged as
"plog-1.0.2-beta" instead of "plog-1.0.2") so it is allowed to make
changes. Small changes, if possible... I also a couple of changes
myself, by the way.

- Once we are happy wiht 1.0.2, we'll make another copy from
branches/plog-1.0.2 to tags/plog-1.0.2 or even tags/plog-1.0.2-beta2
and release a second beta if we find it necessary.

- In case you were wondering,  regarding merging 1.0.2 with 1.1, all
we need to do in the future is merge only branches/plog-1.0.2 from
revision 2xxx onwards, so that we don't merge the same stuff twice.

Hope this is clear now :)
