Why not do a URL to URL copy and specify the revision?
Example:
$ svn info /path/to/WC
Path: /path/to/WC
URL: svn://host/repo/proj1/trunk
Repository UUID: 4a5ed695-87dc-0310-ba4e-81239b96de8e
Revision: 621
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: sean
Last Changed Rev: 620
Last Changed Date: 2004-12-21 16:11:17 -0600 (Tue, 21 Dec 2004)
Properties Last Updated: 2004-12-07 15:36:23 -0600 (Tue, 07 Dec 2004)
Notice that the fourth row, "Revision", indicates the current revision of the
top level directory of your working copy. Of course, if you're using a mixed
revision working copy, this won't help much. In that case, figure out the
last commit you made to the repository that you want to pick up. In this
case, assume it's r621.
$ svn cp -r 621 svn://host/repo/proj1/trunk svn://host/repo/proj1/tags/tag1 -m
"Tagging proj1 as tag1 from r621."
Will that work for you?
