Hi,

i am using subversion as RCS. Always when a new version of my project is finised i create a tag of it (copy of the trunk). Does anybody know how i can protect this tagged directory from being accidentally modified?

At the moment as a workaround i lock all files. But this sill means that the user with the lock can edit the files.

Is there any better solution?
