The "tag" is a snapshot in time when 2.4 was relelased.  You probably 
want to track

_http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/branches/mono-2-4/mono 
<http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/tags/mono-2-4/mono>_

and periodically pull the fixes that land there as pertinent to you.

A new tag will be created for every single release, which will be copied 
from the corresponding revision on the branch.
