Re: how can we get list of all tags for a file

It's not [currently] possible in Subversion. CVS is file-centric, in that all
information about a particular file is stored in a single place in repository.
Subversion is more repository-centric, in that a given revision is merely the
collection of all files at a point in time (whether you are talking about the
HEAD or any branch or tag revision).

I know that there are plans to support copy-to (where was this file copied to
during it's lifetime), which will be the other side of copy-from (where did this
file originally come from). However, this is strictly a 2.0 issue (because of
the incompatible database changes), so you are talking about a while.

Perhaps if you told us /why/ you need to know this information, we can suggest
other ways to handle it.

That's a GUI feature; strictly speaking it is implemented by using 'cvs log' and
parsing the output. And again, since Subversion does not currently have any way
of tracking when a file is copied to a tag or branch, it is not possible to
dummy up a complete analogue of this feature.
