[TSVN] tagging to a non-existing path

hi

we come from CVS where tagging is of course different, but possible
anywhere.

it seems, (due mostly to our builds-structure), that our developers need
to be able to tag projects in an arbitrary way. for instance something
like this svn command:

$ svn copy \
http://localhost/svn/projectA/trunk/SubprojectA \
http://localhost/svn/projectA/tags/SubprojectA/some/path/here/v_1_0

(this example is extreme but it is possible for us to have a
non-existing equivalent path in the tags directory-tree)

i haven't found a way [not even a "hooky" way] to do this from the
command line. and today i tried it with tortoiseSVN, and found the same
problem. one can *not* tag to a non-existing url [the only part of the
URL that can be non-existing is the final basename, the actual tagname].

does anyone know of a workaround or have i overlooked something. it is
critical for us to be able to execute the above behavior in a single step.

if not, i imagine something like this would be useful:

1) user tries to tags to non-existing url (but to valid repository of
course)
2) tortoieSVN says: "Path doesn't exist. should i create it for you ?"
3) user accepts.
4) tortoieSVN creates the full path including the tagname. then "copies"
the relevant files

thanks
