The reason I didn't want to do this is that copies aren't copies anymore
since the copied-to tree will have svn:merged-from properties attached
to it, which the copied-from tree clearly won't have. For tagging this
information is completely irrelevant, so it will bite users that do a
lot of tagging but no branching. This will also make the copy operation
more expensive than O(1), which I think is a no-go.

Yes, that would be a plus. It crossed my mind obviously, just failed
to mention it ;) Sorry.
