I use the attached script, as follows:

joey@dragon:~>svnpath
svn+ssh://kitenet.net/home/svn/joey/trunk/home-full

svn cp `svnpath` `svnpath branches`/new_branch
svn cp `svnpath` `svnpath tags`/new_tag
svn cat `svnpath`/foo

It does a very simple substitution of the optional first argument to get
to tags or branches, so should work with nearly any repository layout.
