subversion and revision tags, first pass
Always being a wanna-be programmer, I'm only now learning development tools.
Subversion is cool in itself, but when I was just starting with it a few months ago I wasn't googling tags correctly and only found parts about how cvs tags didn't work.
Inspired today, I decided to search again and found the right information this time.
For me a compressed tag with date, rev #, and id are good enough. So all I had to do to get this working was to add a line in my PERL script under a comment:
There are other more useful settings but this was my little discovery for today. Since I'm forced to work under winblows and that means I have to use Cygwin to be productive at all, I haven't explored how to make this the default yet.

$Id$and then change the svn property for the affected files with:
svn propset svn:keywords Id lib/*now when I commit files, they automatically get updated with the latest tag.
