If you want to understand 'branches' and 'tags' as general version
control concepts, take a look at a nice part of kfogel's CVS book:

   http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#Branches

If you then want to understand how they work in Subversion via our
'cheap copy' technique, read our programmer's 'design' document. It
has some diagrams and examples of how copies and shared storage works:

You'll need to grep down to the section called "Repository Structure"
and start reading there.
