This allows you to add in directories directly under the "tags" directory via an "svn cp", but you can't add anything under those directories. I don't make a distinction between files, and directories. It is possible to use "svn add" to add in empty directories and files directly under the /tags directory, so it's not entirely secure from maliciousness. However, it really wouldn't do anything more than be annoying and since this is version control, the culprit could easily be caught.
Yes, the revision control part is always there. While we tend to use tags to get simple human-generated, human-readable names for specific revisions (through the convention of never committing changes there), all you really have to do to be sure you have a particular version is use the path@revision syntax in your workflow. It is impossible for that to ever be changed through subversion client operations.
