I keep a set of utilities in svn so they can be easily exported to a process
using the utilities and files.

Now I have the following problem:

There are a set of tagged versions of a utility residing in svn as
utilities/utilityname/tags/
  |/rev1
  |/rev2
  |/rev3
  |..etc

I would like to make utilityname/trunk point to a specific tag (which I will
change as time goes on) such that if an export is made as follows it will always
provide the lastest version of the utility:

svn export https://mydomain/svn/utilities/utilityname/trunk utilityname

Then if a new version of a utility emerges then an import to a new tag name can
be made of the new utility with files and then repoint trunk to that tag.

Is this possible?

The export is being done in a set of scripts used in several places and I want
to make sure the latest version is used while also keeping the old versions
available for special cases. And this without having to find all of these usage
spots.

And if one needs an earlier revision in a specific case one can use that
specific tagname instead.

How can this be done, if possible?
