Comment (by EkoJr):

 WP already uses tags with the SVN to mark which stable version to
 download. Most of the focus would revolve around semantic version control
 for marking what the version state is. I imagine the hardest change would
 be with the website side for accepting a dynamic request when it is based
 on a static file in the trunk.

 @dd32 With that being said, would be possible to change the download
 source to be specific as to which tag folder to download with the SVN
 repo?

 I understand plugins are able to change their download source for
 updating, but I also understand it would be dealing with the same repo
 source in this case.
