So, checking out a clean work directory was fine. Doing an "svn
update" on the old work directory had problems.
You may need to do a "svn switch" even though the URL is actually the
same. I don't know enough of Subversion's internals to understand how
it tracks the URL, but I suspect that that the old working directory
is still pointing to the old tag directory and not the new one.
