Put a tag in the wrong place

[Geoffrey Myers <li...@serioustechnology.com>]

I created a tag in my branches directory, can I simply move it to the 
tags directory?  My google foo was not successful.

You can copy the tag to the right place and delete it (or do a move
which does both).   However, the copy will still appear in the wrong
place at the revision where it was committed since the repository
maintains the history.   This is rarely a problem since subversion
handles copies efficiently.

Thanks, I thought as much, but wanted to get a warm and fuzzy feeling 
about it first.

If it were me I would just create the tag again (with the correct path info
this time) and svn delete the wrong one.

Yes. Subversion preserves history through copies & moves.
