I think that is not a versioned operatoin (but I might be wrong). The point is
that with svn you can remove all those tags as versioned operations, so you are
really not destroying past history, and you're making the tags list much more
meaningful and useful for everyday use. IMO we should do the same with closed
branches, they really serve no purpose there in /branches in the current
revision, we can safely "svn rm" them (or move to a /branches/closed subdir).
