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?
