If the intended audience for your document were just you, all this
would make sense. However, since most Subversion apparently think
they are getting tag functionality in the way we recommend, your claim
that "the function is simply missing" is likely to mislead most
readers.
It would be better to describe what's actually going on, and let
people judge for themselves, I think.

I agree that would be a useful feature, but it would offer *less*
functionality than CVS or SVN tags currently do, since it could only
tag one revision tree, not a mixed set of paths/revisions.

Thanks.

CVS supports renames? On *folders*?? Not according to
https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.12.9/cvs_7.html#SEC70.
CVS has some commands which can be used to achieve something close to
renaming, but with odd side effects (such as the old directory
continuing be present if -P is not passed to checkout, etc).
