Actually, I don't think so. You could easily set up your repository like
this:

  /tags/
    module1/
      releases/
        1.0.0/
        1.0.1/
        ...
      daily/
        snap-1003/
        snap-1004/
        ...
    module2/
      ...

There is nothing to say that all modules' tags must fall directly under
the tags/ directory. In fact, nothing even says you must have a directory
named "tags".

Then reorganize the directory :-)

Does the above suggestion meet your needs?
