Is there a way to do that?
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.
