I think it would make sense to implement this with an URL like: .../~checkout~/.../%s?rev=.&content-type=...&only_with_tag=%s ie. extend the existing magic "." revision so that it would honor the only_with_tag parameter, if present. (Currently, "." works only with the default branch.)

I'll have a look, it should not be too hard to implement this. I've got a few semi-related TODOs anyway.
