Branch and tag are really just doing the same thing that "svn copy"
does. This is one of few areas where TSVN deviates from the names of
the actual svn commands (probably because "branch" and "tag" are
concepts described in the svn book).
Note that, within an Explorer view you typically are dealing with a
trunk, tag, or branch at a time. It's impractical to deal with much
more than that because in your WC, there are no "cheap copies" (they're
real files on your workstation). Within the repo-browser, however, you
could choose to copy the parent of all those, so it wouldn't make as
much sense to use the notation "branch/tag" within the repo-browser.
I don't know why your branch/tag operation failed however. I have to
ask if it is possible the revision was ignored by TSVN.
