You realize nothing binds you to having all tags directly under a tags dir
in the repository, right? So if you want your directory tree to be tidier,
why not create various subdirs within tags, each of which holds a different
category of tags?

And anyway, if the svn directory tree is 'busy', doesn't that mean that the
list of tags in cvs is equally 'busy'?
