Yes, I agree and this is what I documented. However, svn-buildpackage
--svn-tag won't do without explicitly setting tagsUrl. (Instead, it
drops the version tag directly in ./pkg-java/tags/.) I may write a
patch for it since the ./${repo}/branches/${pkg-name}/${branch}/
convention seems fairly well-established.
