Recommendations to others considering Subversion:

Move to a DVCS instead as SubVersion is non-DVCS. If you do temporarily need to version control binaries, SubVersion is far more suited than Git. There are a few Free subversion providers available, but they are slowly disappearing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

tag vs branch are almost the same, distinction between them will be helpful. Maybe better overall documentation.
