svn: default name for a tag when name is not important?

I need to tag the current state of my source tree in svn. My problem is I don't care what the name is, I just need to mark the current revision in an immutable* manner. (*subject to malicious behavior)

What's the best way to do this? 

branches/
tags/
   ???
trunk/

should ??? be the date, an incrementing sequence, the repository rev # ...?

Use the revision number, is by definition inmutable. You can use the revision number in the usual svn commands to access the repository in a particular point in time.

For example, to get revision: svn co http://my.svn/project1/trunk@1024

I would use a combination of date and the svn revision number. Its immutable and will allow you to easily find newer commits. You could also put the date in the tag if desired.
