I don't think you need parent here. Copy is created for selected
projects and not for their parents.

However here we are choosing parent target folder where all copies
will be created.

And why exactly you won't even consider that? If tag property won't
have revision information it would be quite reasonable to commit it
before hand if user choose to tag with head revision.

Not really. I wasn't suggesting parent, especially because such
parent may have more stuff then user actually want to tag. Unless I am
missing something.
I also think it is important that one way or the other tag property
will go into the copy. Because the only way to make it go to the target
copy is to actually commit it, it need to be committed automatically.
