To defintively block commits, whatever the client used, you surely
must do it server-side. Probably you should somehow test that you do
not allow commits where directory/file already exists.

Yes, it is a convention of the classical Subversion recommendation
(hinerited from the CVS model).

Commits on tags are still possible. tortoiseSVN asks if the user
really wants this. subversion command line clients do not block
anything (as written before, Subversion itself does not care).
