Hi,

I think it would be better to make the release process like this, with
5.3.1RC1 as an example:

(1) svn copy http://svn.php.net/repository/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3
http://svn.php.net/repository/php/php-src/branches/php_5_3_1RC1

(2) do the release building in the branch and when the release is out on
php.net

(3) make the tag by moving the branch: svn mv
http://svn.php.net/repository/php/php-src/branches/php_5_3_1RC1
http://svn.php.net/repository/php/php-src/tags/php_5_3_1RC1

also possible would be to svn copy it and wait 2-3 days before svn rm to
allow easy fixing of problems with the tag.

This would also make it possible to develop continuously on PHP_5_3
without fear of futzing up a release.
