No, svn-inject doesn't tag at all. svn-buildpackage has a --tag option.

Well, it seems intuitive and logical to say that tagging should be done
when a release is final. That is, when it's uploaded. That way, we can
always checkout one specific release when we want to. So I think Joachim
is right.

But not to worry, you can always delete a tag. (Allthough the tags should
allways be read-only).
