False warning about beeing on a tag on commit

[Sebastian Krysmanski]

Every time a do a commit for our project I see the following warning:

"Your working copy appears to be on a tag path! You should first switch to a branch or the main trunk before committing."

However, I'm not on a tag path. The path is simply "/trunk/development". How comes that TortoiseSVN thinks I'm on a tag path?

What is the working copy path?

This warning is only shown if the target url contains "/tags/".

TortoiseSVN makes a case-insensitive test for the substring
"/tags/" anywhere in the URL you are committing. It can get
confused if, for example, the host name of the repository
included this text. I get your message when I use a test
repository accessed as file:///C:/.../tags/temp

I'm not sure whether including the URL of the repository, as well
as the path within it, in the check is correct behaviour or a
mistake.
