If you call
svn up --set-depth exclude PATH
on your tags and branches folder, they should be completely removed from
your working copy, leaving a marker that they shouldn't be updated. (You can
bring them back by --set-depth infinity on a parent or an explicit update of
PATH itself).
This option is available for directories since Subversion 1.6. (In 1.7 you
can also use it to exclude a specific file)
