In my opinion there is a desperate need for the feature which
will enable me to run svn log [some switch] within the working
dir of some component and get the list of tags created on this
component.

It can be solved in two ways:
(a) cvs way - add the more cvs-like tag or alias concept and use
it
(b) maybe more subversion way - whenever I svn copy something,
add log entry to the copy source (best if special so it can be
easily distinguished with svn log switches). It will also help
keep track of branching or just find out what have been copied
and where.
