Sure. The problem is that svn doesn't have tags, branches, or different
projects; it's all just subdirectories with linked files.

So you need a good mapping from one to the other. In principle that's
simple, it's just that nobody has written the code for a more flexible
mapping from svn paths to tags / branch+subpath yet.
