I don't understand what advantage this would give you. I do see the
potential for a lot of confusion and copying/moving of items which
shouldn't be operated on, though.
Subversion itself applies no special meaning to "tags" & "branches" so
there is nothing *technical* from stopping you from doing this; it
seems like you're going against convention for no discernible reason
though.
