Package: svn-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.25
Severity: important

  Hello,

  While doing svn update in the trunk/ directory of the pkg-java
repository - svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk I've noticed
a new tags/ directory where recent svn-buildpackage --svn-tag* did
stored its tags. It's quite bad, as it will make the /trunk directory
very quickly unusable - whereas it is the whole point of having the 
trunk/package tags/package layout.

  My guess is that the fault lies with svn-buildpackage, in the
heuristics used for detecting the location of the tags directory. It
would be very easy to look for a ../tags directory only if the current
path matches /trunk\/?$/ -- else, if a tags/ directory accidentally
gets created in the trunk/ directory (and why not a package named tags
?), svn-bp is picking up the wrong location. Or try that one last ?

  In any case, it is very painful for now. I hope I've provided you
with enough information to track down the problem.

  Cheers,

        Vincent
