Unfortunately there is not an easy way to figure out SVN tags, in
order to apply them as darcs tags: in SVN a tag is after all just a
copy of a tree somewhere else, and while it could be possible to
invent a strategy/heuristic that infer the details, I think that there
are lots of corner cases (just think to the fact that the copy of the
tree is not immutable, or even it could be performed in several
steps...)

Of course I'll be happy to stand corrected! :-)
