That is a good question. In CVS tags and branches are technically
different, each serving a useful purpose. In Subversion they are
technically the same, but as a matter of organization it is common to
maintain 'trunk', 'tags', and 'branches' as top-level directories, and
then work in them as if they were tags and branches in the CVS sense.
