I don't know how hard it would be for you to code this, but I think it
might be hard for you to persuade all the developers to redesign our
repository schema. :-)

Seriously, the feature you want makes sense for a system like CVS, which
is heavily focused on per-file versioning. Every file has its own RCS
file, and the RCS file format does exactly what you're talking about:
it allows you to attach unversioned labels to specific file revisions.

SVN doesn't even (yet) expose per-file revisions to the user! It's
built in a completely different way. Your feature would require a
*massive* redesign.
