And how is this different from current practice of making tags? I can
also make a URL copy of my entire repository under the "tags"
directory (if that's the way I so choose to make my copies), and
anyone checking out that repository would get an explosion of
checkouts.

The usual way is to include "everything in the archive" is to just
copy what is under the "trunk" directory to a subdirectory under the
"tags" directory. This way, you don't include developer branches and
other tags in the current one.
