[wp-hackers] first time SVN user, first time adding plugin to directory

[Eric Mann]

I published a tutorial a few weeks ago that walks you through the steps to
creating and committing a plugin complete with screenshots from TortoiseSVN.
 If you're on a Mac, I have it on good authority that you can use SCPlugin
instead and follow the exact same steps.

Basically, you develop on trunk until you're ready to release, then you use
SVN to create your tag - don't try to move things to the /tags folder
manually, because you might accidentally copy the .svn subdirectories ...
and that can break things.
