That's correct, but there is something you have to keep in mind:

I personally dislike SVN for development, I use git.
This is my setup for development:
My git repository resides in:
/d1/development/wordpress/plugins/my-plugin/source

The SVN repository resides in:
/d1/development/wordpress/wordpress.org/my-plugin

I use the normal stuff in git, branches, tags etc.
When I'm ready for a public release I run a script. The basics of the
script:
- Tag git with the release
- Copy the tag to SVN:tags/release
- Copy the readme.txt to SVN:/trunk
- svn add SVN:/tags/release
- svn ci SVN:/trunk
- svn ci SVN:/tags/release

The reason for doing two ci's is I have ran into trouble doing it in
one. My plugin wouldn't show up on the Updated list on wordpress.org
