Umh, it already does that, doesn't it? just leave out the HEAD.

The problem with that is that when you have an external pointing to
http://foo/repos/trunk/whatever, and you tag everything under trunk, it
still points to trunk, where you would want it to point to the tag.
This is the kind of thing that would make this sort of support useful,
and the kind of thing that is difficult to implement at the moment.
