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.
