svncopy.pl addresses exactly this problem. svncopy --tag fixes the
version number when tagging. svncopy --branch updates the destination
of the external to be within the branch. The script is in
http://svn.collab.net.repos/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/svncopy.pl.in
- rename this to svncopy.pl and replace @SVN_BINDIR@ with the path to
your svn executable.

That is not necessarily desired, but you do at least want the version
tagging to happen automatically. svncopy.pl gives the option of either.
