Ari,

Tags are conceptually an immutable snapshot of history. You cannot/should not
try to commit in an existing tag. But you can checkout
https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/branches/1.9 and push your commit in it (for 1.9.1).
We require an associated ticket to track changes to stable branches.

Best regards,

Even
