It was just an example how it might look like....

No...the repository path can be seen if you do an svn info in your wc.

Lets assume the following repository structure...to make my explanation
more clear (Or may be i misunderstand yours?)...

/
+---- px
        +--- py
              +--- pz
                    +--- trunk
                    +--- tags
                    +--- branches

If you do a checkout from the above trunk you need to do the following
to create a tag (svn 1.5, 1.6):

     svn cp ^/px/py/pz/trunk ^/px/py/pz/tags/R1 -m"- Tag"

So what a like to see is something like:

     svn cp ^!/trunk ^!/tags/R1 -m"- Tag"

cause i have often repositories with a deep folder structures in it.

So this would be very convenient.

Kind regards
