Not necessarily.  Try tagging in svn.  It's so hard I had to write a
couple scripts:

$ cat gnome-tag-release 
#!/bin/bash
if test x$# != x3; then
        echo gnome-tag module tag release
        exit
fi
svn copy svn+ssh://svn.gnome.org/svn/$1/trunk svn+ssh://svn.gnome.org/svn/$1/tags/$2 -m "Tagged for release $3."


Yeah, it's conceptually easy: "svn copy from to", but makes absolutely
no sense even compared to cvs.
