why tagging?

I'm just thinking "why tagging". I know a tag in svn is sort of a copy of a particular revision. But I don't want this happens, all I want is to "mark" a particular revision as "something" (e.g. release 1.1.2b), and the repo should be getting bigger in size which is unnecessary I think.

So am I wrong? Any ideas?

Thank you
