And i really thought I explained it ;-)
The point is that it is difficult for svn users to trach which version for each kdesupport application is needed to build parts of KDE. so we introduced a tag which can be checked out which is garanteed to work for a certain checkout of KDE. To be more precise: trunk kdesupport will always work with kde trunk and tags/kdesupport-for-4.x whould always work with that specific KDE 4.x.

It can be dynamic, as long as strigi checks out and works for the kde 4.2 branch. So if you release a new version you can replace the tag to point to that.
