We already have standardized metadata: a bunch of "svn:xxxx"
properties. No, none of them label directories as being branches or
tags.

The official Subversion Philosophy is that there is no such thing as
branches or tags, only cheap copies. If you want to think of a copy
as a branch or tag, then it's a matter of project policy. You can
label it with metadata, change authorization permissions, or do
whatever you wish. Subversion isn't going to dictate the concepts of
"branch" and "tag" to everyone.
