Hi,
We currently only list tags which are associated with changesets picked up by Continua. When a new repository is added to Continua or is reset, we only pick up the latest change on each branch. This is for performance reasons. We want you to get up and running as soon as possible.
We plan to change this to allow your to choose to pick up older changesets or maybe even do this automatically in the background. At least we should be looking at picking up any changesets which are tagged.
I know with svn (which I think you are using) tags are generally no different to branches. We are however trying to use an approach which works well with all repository types.

Hi Sascha,
Continua should list newer tags (at least tags created from newer changesets). If Continua detects a change in the tags folder - it checks the revision that it is copied from (using the copyfrom-rev attribute in the log output). It then associates that tag with the existing changeset with that revision number. If the changeset does not exist in the database then the tag is ignored.
There’s currently nothing you can do about older tags. As I said, we are planning to update this to allow older changesets to be added to the database. It’s not a simple change - but it’s high on the list of priorities.
If you are missing any newer tags which are created from a revision which listed on the changesets view then please send the output from the following command to [support@finalbuilder.com](mailto:support@finalbuilder.com)
`svn log {repository url}/tags/{tag name} --verbose --xml`
replacing {repository url} and {tag name} as relevant.
