So why not organize your tags into subdirectories?

tags/2002/
tags/florbleproject/
tags/old-ugly-tags/
tags/unused-tags/
tags/tags-and-more-tags/
tags/...

I appreciate that you have certain needs, but I encourage you to look at
ways to make use of Subversion's differences from CVS rather than force
them into CVS's mold.

Good luck,
