Miguel,

I don't think you are looking for a tag so much as a Changelist - see
http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#changelists
or you could always diff your tag against the prior version like Stefan
sets out. I wonder if you could make a tag from a changelist? looks to be a
client side only feature.
