Are you planning on creating svn tags of these releases? And, with apologies for the preaching, but how come you don't
create the zip files from said tagged release? That should avoid wrong files being copied.
Additionally, that would allow outside users of your package to update their own source code histories with the tag name
of your release. Or, in my case, export your tagged release into my own repo -- I'm not allowed to use svn:externals :o(
Traceability and all that, you know?
