[Zope-dev] [SVN] svn:externals using tags now

Hi,

All svn:externals on the trunk and the 2.10 are now using tags instead of
fixed revision numbers. Revision numbers tell you nothing about what is 
actually behind the revision number unless you perform several manual
operations to obtain the required information. Tags are much more readable 
and at the first glance you see what's behind the svn:external. At least 
from the maintenance point of view this is a major improvement (for me).
If someone wants to use revision numbers then there should be at least
a comment in the externals list documenting "rXXXXX points to .....".
