svn doesn't know anything about it :-) However, maven does. People type 'svn cp trunk tags/my-release-4' to make a release tag.
If you build with maven, the release plugin will do this with no fussy config if the name is 'tags'. If it's 'tag', you have to tell Maven about it. For you new-to-svn types, the most important thing to know for now is that a svn tag is just like a svn branch. Both happen by running a 'copy' operation.
