I think it's practical. I simply set up the variable "R" for my
repository root. In my .bashrc:

export R=https://www.example.com/svn

Then I can make a tag like this:

svn cp $R/fooproject/trunk $R/fooproject/tags/1.9.0

Or by using handy dandy shell expansion:

svn cp $R/fooproject/{trunk,tags/1.9.0}

Easy as pie.
