[JENKINS-8811] Tag this build fails when attempting to tag a branch that has not changed

1. Start with a repository structure that contains this: http://svn/repos/trunk/mybranch

2. Create a branch as follows: svn copy http://svn/repos/trunk http://svn/repos/branches/develop

3. Setup a Hudson job that checks out the workspace from: http://svn/repos/branches/develop/mybranch

4. Run the job

5. Try to use the Tag this build function on the build

6. Tag this build will fail with the error message:

ERROR: Failed to tag

Completed

The reason according to my analysis is the fact that the Last Changed Rev is stored instead of the Revision. The Last Changed Rev is created before step 2 above, i.e. it fails because the url http://svn/repos/branches/develop/mybranch does not exist in this revision.

This has also been identified in this discussion:
