I used tags for ZODB until I gave in to complaints about that, and switched to using revision numbers. The real complaint about using a tagged external is that when the tag changes, SVN isn't smart enough to do an incremental update. Instead, when you update after an external tag changes:

What do you mean with "when the tag changes"?
Not what I said: I said "[when] an /external/ tag" changes". I mean when you change an external tag _in_ project A _referencing_ the external tagged project B. Here A=Zope and B=ZODB, and the external tags in question are the ones referencing ZODB from within the svn:externals properties of various Zope directories.
I am still not completely sure about the problem. Yesterday I created a tag for for ZODB 3.6.2 as ../ZODB/tags/3.6.2 and I updated the svn:externals for the ZODB on the Zope 2.9 branch to this new tag. When releasing 2.9.4 2.9.4 will be tagged as Zope/tags/2.9.4....so what will be the problem... both tags should never be touched...am I missing a particular usecase? Andreas
