Well, I'm far enough from being a git-svn expert, but I suppose git-svn will special-case the content of tags/ and branches/ directories, and consider copies there to be tags and branches. I don't know whether git-svn does it efficiently, though.

If you use "svn copy" with the meaning "create a tag" with a destination other than tags/ directory, then, git-svn can not guess it was actually a tag.
