Understood -- this would need some effort. You cannot setup per-
directory hooks, though it's not that hard to create a "dispatcher"
master hook script that could do this and pass over control to
another based upon the path.
Tags and branches *are* normally subsets of a repo -- if currently
they are tagging/branching the entire repo that is just by choice.
It's more formal to tag/branch at a project level or below. For example:
svn://my-server/my-repo/my-project/my-sub-project/tags/...
That is, the trunk/branches/tags split can occur wherever you like in
the directory hierarchy, and there can be as many as you like in one
repo -- each completely independent of the others. tags etc are not
"special" -- they are just conventional uses of normal directory names.
