Well, you don't, or rather, Subversion won't do that for you. You can
do it manually in steps, first creating the directory in tags, then
creating the "betra" directory inside it, then copying trunk/betra/
1.0.2 into that, then creating the "las" directory within the tag
directory, then copying trunk/las/2.8.7 into that. Untested, but
theoretically something like this:
svn mkdir $SVNROOT/tags/mytag
svn mkdir $SVNROOT/tags/mytag/betra
svn cp $SVNROOT/betra/1.0.2 $SVNROOT/tags/mytag/betra
svn mkdir $SVNROOT/tags/mytag/las
svn cp $SVNROOT/las/2.8.7 $SVNROOT/tags/mytag/las
This will use up several (here, 5) revisions in the process and is,
as you see, not straightforward. From this you should infer that this
is not how you're supposed to do it.
Your directory structure looks odd to me. What are these version
directories in "betra" and "las"? Are they tags (or possibly vendor
drops?) of "betra" and "las"? If so, that's not how it's intended to
be used.
On the other hand... since you're showing SQL files in these
directories... perhaps the files in e.g. betra/1.0.2 are the SQL
changes needed to get from version 1.0.1 to version 1.0.2 of "betra"?
If that's what you're doing, then I'd suggest that you do in fact tag
the entire trunk directory. It's not as though this will take up
large amounts of disk space, and it will make your tags mesh with
everyone else's definition of a Subversion tag (that is: a copy of
trunk at a particular point [or, in the case of a mixed-revision tag,
points] in time).
