why should svn be not appropriate for handling projects with many
tags/branches? how do my ideas relate to this appropriateness?
my reasoning is, that there are a lot of branches/tags that are useless
(in practice), why not getting rid of them when it is possible.
CVS is bad at handling branches/tags, as you cannot really delete them
once they are created, and you are forced to create both a tag and a
branch when you initially check your code in.
just to clarify this:
i want to cleanup the repository before getting it online, within the
possibilities of the repository.
this means, that all branches/tags will still be available in older
revisions of the repository. no information will be lost.
but the repository will be cleaned up, awaiting new mess.

says who? what makes you think this? (am i really such control freak?)
my point is: changing a repository system implies several changes; we
can use these for a major clean-up (the next one might not be before we
move to git...)
