In CVS, they were needed because you couldn't use a date and a branch 
together (we stopped tagging mainline snapshots some time ago in favour of 
the snapshot announcement giving the timestamp instead).  With SVN, 
neither mainline nor branch snapshots need tagging; the announcements can 
give either the timestamp or the revision number.
