Use stderr. In shell scripts, you can do this like:

   echo "stdout redirected to stderr" 2>&1

Tags don't exist in Subversion as first-class actions or items. You
get files and directories, and you get the ability to make copies of
them. That's branching and tagging. See chapter 4 of The Book
(http://www.svnbook.com).
