How can I create a svn tag afterwards?

I have changed the repository structure to fit to the normal trunk, tags and braches structure. How can I now create tags for old revisions?

Curriently I’m tring this:

svn copy dev/somedir@35 tags/Stable-1.0 -r 35

But I get this error:

svn: E155010: The node ‘/path/to/repo/dev/somedir’ was not found.

This is normal for the currient state but not true for the revision 35.

How can I fix this problem? Should I check out the old rev 35 and copy the content to the currient version? Or is there a simpler way?

    I try to repeat your question: The path /dev/somedir exists in rev 35, in between the directory structure changed, the path /dev/somedir does not exist in the HEAD revision, and the path /tags does not exist in rev 35. You want to copy /dev/somedir from rev 35 to /tags. Correct?

    Try the following command:

    svn cp ^/dev/somedir@35 ^/tags/Stable-1.0

    This command works with two URLs instead of paths in the working copy. I strongly recommend the usage of URLs when creating tags and branches.

    The following operation should work as well (combination of URL and WC). However, I strongly advise against using it:

    svn cp ^/dev/somedir@35 tags/Stable-1.0
