Suppose you have three subsequent revisions in the trunk:

A contains what you originally wanted to tag
A+1 contains a change by somebody else, not to be released
A+2 is the change that you made to fix a bug you noticed
    during the release

How do you create the release tag so that it contains change
sets A and A+2, but not A+1? (and no, creating a branch just for
the release is no option, because that means you have to copy all
the changes you made on the branch back to the trunk)
