Well - what I see is that tag is based on revision chosen by "good
enough" unit test run.

Take a look:

svn log --stop-on-copy
https://svn.erp5.org/repos/public/erp5/tags/version-5.3/
------------------------------------------------------------------------

r24481 | yusei | 2008-11-04 23:04:43 +0100 (Tue, 04 Nov 2008) | 2 lines

Release 5.3.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now test report for r<24481:

http://mail.nexedi.com/pipermail/erp5-report/2008-November/027084.html

ERP5_z28 r24470: 2276 Tests, 2 Errors, 11 Failures (0.57% of problems)

http://mail.nexedi.com/pipermail/erp5-report/2008-November/027077.html

ERP5 r24473: 2276 Tests, 2 Errors, 9 Failures (0.48% of problems)

As soon as tags appeared I used them to choose "the good one" *starting*
revision, then it was much easier to catch-up head by tag-by-tag jumps.

Regards,
Luke
