I don't really understand the question... nothing will be lost.
History will be preserved. There is no problem. The branches and tags
are just directories, just like the trunk is a directory. They aren't
lost unless you deliberately "svn rm" them, and even then they're not
lost; they're just removed from the HEAD revision. They're still
there in the older revisions in the history of the repository and can
still be retrieved.
