Couldn't you have a tag called stable and move that tag with each stable release so that someone who checks it out will always be able to get the latest release tagged as stable without picking a specific version?
(So you'd probably double tag with each stable release. One tag with the version number that is constant and one that is called stable which moves with each stable release.)

Jason,
In general, branches aren't intended for "stable" snapshots - they exist as ongoing work areas to manage some parallel development that needs configuration control but cannot impact the baseline. Branches are usually merged back into the baseline when the parallel development is complete. In Subversion, the convention is to create "tags" for snapshots of revisions that have some meaning. If you look in the RoundCube /tags directory, you'll see the latest revision that was considered "stable," i.e. the v0.1-beta2 version.

I was checking out svn.roundcube.net and it looks like there isn't a branch that I can checkout/update that'll always give me the latest stable release. Am I missing something, or could a /branches/stable be created that was always the latest stable released version?
Thanks, Jason
