TortoiseSVN will issue a warning if you try to commit to a tags folder

That is by convention a tag...

Again: TortoiseSVN will issue a warning if you try to commit to a tags
folder :-)

If you *really* want to prevent people from committing to a tag, you have to
install a server pre-commit hook that does something like this:

---SNIP---
SVNLOOK=/usr/local/bin/svnlook
# Check for modification of tags.

# Reject tag modifications except creation and deletion
#echo "=============== changed ================" >>/tmp/pre-commit.log
$SVNLOOK changed -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | grep "tags/" >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
    $SVNLOOK changed -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | egrep
"^[AD][[:space:]]+(.*/)?tags/[^/]+/$" >/dev/null
    if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
        echo -e "\nModifikation von Tags ist nicht zulaessig. Uebertragung
abgebrochen!\nModification of tags is not allowed. Commit aborted!" 1>&2
        exit 1
    fi
fi
---SNIP---
