The parent dir change from "/tags" to "/project1/tags" is visible under the tag1, tag2, etc. baselines because svn doesn't know that "^/project1/tags" isn't/shouldn't be part of your "tag1", "tag2", etc. baselines.

In fact, it should, because you renamed the tags. The misconception is
that the names of the tags is "tag1" and "tag2"; that is not the case.
The names are /tags/tag1 and /tags/tag2 before the rename, and whatever
the paths are after the rename.

You cannot identify a directory (or branch or tag) just by its basename,
only the whole path is a unique identifier (within the repository).
