A potential workaround to get rid of the spurious errors is to file
system delete the unwanted tag dirs and run 'svn update -N' on the
deleted tag dirs. That will non-recursively recreate the dirs and cause
the workspace to see the dirs as correct.

Workspaces are supposed to be cheap, temporary, and throw-away so it's
normally easier to just delete the problematic workspace and create a
new one. However, if you have a lot of works in progress or if your
workspaces are huge, then that's less of an option.
