No, it's not. I'd argue that sometimes you need to know what it's a copy
of.
However, it's not a part of the status of /PATH, its part of the log of
/PATH. The reason being that it's irrelevant to the developers making
changes under /tags/0.8.0 where the data came from; it's just part of
the repository they're working with. It is part of the version history
log because that tells us where the data came from.

So the output of svn log /tags/0.8.0 should be a superset of the
following:
/tags/0.8.0:
    Created: #914
    History: /trunk:#909
             #905
             #899

Status is also very local working copy oriented and the version history
doesn't really make sense here. The last sentence makes no attempt to
coincide with current available option permutations of the status
command.
