 I don't exactly understand the meaning of 'switched to' in this context.
- is /path under trunk? And if that is the case,
  - move path/C from trunk/path/C to tag1 (moving essentially meaning
deleted from trunk/path/C)
  - create a tag (copy) of trunk/path/A at tag2

I want to switch path/C to the trunk - meaning I want it to go away.

Since trunk/path/C is gone, this is not going to work right. So you want to
either switch path/C to the tag1 url, or since you know that trunk/path/C is
gone, just use "rm -rf path/C"
