No, but we agree this is a serious lack and someday (don't ask me
when, we've got a lot of enhancement requests in the queue :-) !) it
will be remedied.
In the meantime there are workarounds. You can write a script to do
'svn ls' in the appropriate tags. I realize this is not ideal, but it
should work.
Good luck,
