I wouldn't bet on it (well capturing the instant is how SVN works), 
but it's irrelevant anyhow.
if you only "release" what on HEAD it doesn't matter than you cannot 
synch w/ branches.
I've been saying for a little over a decade that dropping the "state" 
from CVS was a mistake and this hammers it home more than anything 
I've seen...but it's gone.  One trusts that the Subversion folks 
weren't as blind.
