Yes, the contents of "tags" is (for svn) just another folder, so just
as you rename conventional files/folders under svn you ranme this one,
too, e.g. "svn mv V-2-3-1 V2-3-1; svn ci ." in the tags folder should
be enough.

Hm, I don't have a solution. First of all I wouldn't loop it through
trac, but use the direct svn URL instead, e.g.

http://lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/trunk/prog/detect/sensors-detect

But this has the same issue, so it doesn't solve the issue at hand.

I would guess that the keyword substitution happens at the client, and
svn/trac offer the raw contents only. :(
