Tagging Builds in SVN

We need to tag the builds in SVN inorder to release a build. This is a general concept that we follow in a release

Steps:
1. Check in all the code to the server and verify that nothing on the local is there that is not checked in. Otherwise, the tagged build will be different than the build on the server.
2. Right Click on folder containing the solution.
3. Select Tortoise SVN -> Branch/tag
4. Change the 'To Path' to a location on the server where you want to save the tagged build. You can create a folder named say 'Tags' which will contain the tagged builds.
5. Select 'Working Copy' if you want to tag the local copy OR select Head revision of you want to tag the server copy.

Happy tagging
