Yes, I have a checkout of the tags directory using -N though, so I can
then pick and choose which "tags" to "svn up" from there. "svn
switch"'ing using an existing tag is more network efficient because those
only pull down the diffs from the existing working copy you have... but I
think I've found a workaround...

So what I can do as a workaround follows (full steps outlined):
$ svn co -N http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags
$ cd tags
$ svn up 1.5.0-rc7
... time passes and rc11 comes out... I want to avoid pulling down all of
1.5.0-rc11 with "svn up 1.5.0-rc11 " from the network so I do the
following...
$ svn switch http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.5.0-rc11 1.5.0-rc7
$ svn up -N 1.5.0-rc11
$ rm -rf 1.5.0-rc11
$ cp -a 1.5.0-rc7 1.5.0-rc11
$ svn switch http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.5.0-rc7 1.5.0-rc7
"svn st" comes back clean, no S status either. The above is a workaround
jig and not ideal, but it seems to work alright. Thanks, your comment
about "move" the directory kicked out this workaround.
