If the tags only exist in the local repository then two people working on the
same branch would not have the same mergepoint information. Here is how it
should work:

USER A: svn copy file:///path/to/repos/projectA/trunk
file:///path/to/repos/projectA/branch/newdev

USER A: svn co file:///path/to/repos/projectA/branch/newdev mydev

[time passes with commits to both branch and trunk]

USER A: svn merge file:///path/to/repos/projectA/trunk
file:///path/to/repos/projectA/branch/newdev

[catch up with the trunk changes, now have mergepoint past initial branch point]

USER B: svn co file:///path/to/repos/projectA/branch/newdev otherdev

[user B makes changes]

If the mergepoint info is in the local sandbox, then User B will not be able to
perform a merge from trunk at this point without checking exactly where each
file was merged with trunk (using 'svn log' for example). User A can just
repeat the same merge command and get only the trunk changes after the last merge.
