You create a new project copying (this time with svn) the core, then create the usual structure of branches and tags and then, I you really want, you create the first tag, called 1.0. Something like the following

If you are new to subversion concepts, you might want to browse the book
to understand how trunk/branches/tags are typically used. You might
really want a 'release branch' policy where at certain points like a
major version release number you copy to a branch for final
testing/development to isolate it from larger changes that might be
happening in the trunk. In that scenario you might incorporate the
product release/version number in the branch name. This doesn't have
anything to do with repository revision numbers.
