You shouldn't keep tags in the same place as trunks of packages. Usual
layout is something like:

  tags/
    package-a/
      0.1-1/
      0.1-2/
    package-b/
      3.1/
      3.2/
  trunk/
    package-a/
    package-b/

(yes, I know there are lots of variations on this)

You can then just check out all of trunk/.

Cheers,
