OK, so it looks like {/trunk, /tags/foo-1.0, /tags/foo-1.1} all start
out as pointers to the exact same tree.

So now /tags/foo-1.1 is a little bit different. It's really a branch
now, not a tag. :-)

That should work just fine, because the foo-1.0 and foo-1.1 trees are
related to each other. They started out as copies of the same tree.
