  There is one way around, though: the order in which the directories
are tried could depend on whether the current directory finishes with
trunk/ or not. If yes, then try ../tags first. If no, then try
../../tags/package first ?

  I'd be glad to implement a patch for that if you wish (after all,
I'm a fervent user of svn-bp...).

  I did downgrade this as a wishlist bug. I'd like to keep it open,
and if that's fine by you, I'll provide a patch for that within a few
days (say, Sunday).

  What do you think about that ?

  Cheers,

      Vincent
