Usually... svn move.

Like me, but I prefer to see into the future and think twice before raising
a hand to do something. :)
While I do not have "tags/branch" dirs, I do all my work in trunk.

Just for example:
svn move --parents http://yoursvnhost/bbook/fnfapp http://yoursvnhost/bbook/fnfapp/trunk
Actually, there could be a problem moving a directory into subdirectory of
itself... I'll leave it to you to find a way to resolve it.

Then, when you are need to create a first tag from it:
svn copy --parents http://yoursvnhost/bbook/fnfapp/trunk http://yoursvnhost/bbook/fnfapp/tags/somenewtag

That said, you do not need to explicitly create parent directories you do not need
right now. It can be done at a later date, in one single transaction.

Mmm... and from second reading of your message, i strongly advice you to think
twice about the future directory structure in the light of the future of a
whole project. Is it a single project or multiple ones?
