Comment (by Otto42):

 This would be extremely difficult with our current process, although it's
 an interesting idea in the long term.

 However, note that SVN, unlike Git, doesn't care if you edit files in a
 tagged folder. Tags are merely a convention, not actually built into the
 source control system in any way. You can edit a readme.txt file in a
 tagged folder without creating a new release, always.

 It has also been suggested to move the readme.txt into the assets folder
 and not including it in the plugin itself, but I think this is not wise as
 the readme is a rather important piece that should be included with the
 plugin, wherever it goes.
