When using 'tag' I cannot set the 'workingDirectory' property in either the
pom or command line.
I.E.
if my pom is not the directory I want to tag I cannot set the working
directory to something else.
```
mvn scm:tag -DworkingDirectory=/tmp/somewhere
```
I believe that this should change directories to /tmp/somewhere and then
perform the 'svn copy' command.
