Description

This is complex, because it would be different for each type. For maven2, for example, it would be potentially compled on its own, insofar as tagging is handled quite differently between CVS and SVN (to pick two). I could see a potential workaround, if build defs were independent within a project, by using a specific goal (say on a nightly build) and therefor "manually" invoking scm:tag or something.

In short, I'm not sure if it's better to do this within the build system, or continuum. Suggestions? Best practices anyone?
