For traceability; to make it easy to tell what changed between two
releases (and I count all alpha, beta, RC, what have you, as a
release in this case). The alternative would be to download and
unpack the two tar archives and then diff them, which kind of
defeats the purpose of having a versioning control system.

That said, I'm with Rob on that tagging and branching in SVN isn't
really something that's manageable. But currently we are stuck
with SVN...
