Forgot this question... AFAICT there is no difference, the work the CVS server has to do is add a few text lines at the beginning of the corresponding RCS file and this is the same no matter how the tag is created. A branch tag and a regular tag differ only in the revision number written into the RCS file, branch tag revisions and in .0, which signifies them as branches. Such tags can be imagined as moving along development commits so that checking out on this tag always retrieves the latest revision on that branch. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
