What is the use-case? What is the problem you are trying to solve,
the question you are trying to answer?

Tags are intended to be complete copies of either trunk or a branch.
Thus, if you create a file foo in a branch in revision R, and delete
it later in revision R+100, then any tags created from that branch
between revisions R and R+100 have foo, and any created before or
after don't. Or, put another way, if you have a file foo in the
branch, you can look at its log to see when it was created, and then
you know that any tags of that branch created after that time contain
it.

Or are you using tags in a different way? If so, how?
