You want to change your tag? It's not really a tag then, is it? Isn't
it more of a branch? :-)
'svn merge' compares two trees and applies the diffs to a working copy.
So if you want /tags/2.1 to "absorb all changes between r8 and r12 that
happened on trunk", then you would compare two snapshots of trunk -- r8
and r12 -- and apply those to a working copy of /tags/2.1.
$ cd tag-working-copy
$ svn merge -r8:12 URL-of-trunk

The revision is global to the repository; you need to stop talking
about different directories "being at different revisions". They're
not. Every directory in the repository is at HEAD, that is, at r12. It
may be that /tags/2.1 is a 'snapshot' of /trunk@r8, but that's about the
origin of /tags/2.1.
