correct. in subversion's repository, we have a layout with the top
level directory looking something like this:
/trunk
/tags
/branches
to tag a release, you copy the contents of trunk into tags. then you
can access them their. to branch, you do the same, but copy into
branches instead, and then commit changes there, which are later merged
back into trunk.
how you organize your repository is up to you, but you'd want something
sort of like this to get branching and tagging.

it's a cgi application that lets you browse a CVS repository (or an SVN
repository if you've got a development version of viewcvs).
