IIRC, this is what I've done in Red Hat before.  I'm actually quite new
to CVS myself (*pats his CVS Pocket Reference*.)

This is another reason I kindly asked Tommy to CVS admin and Paul to be
his assistant admin.  Paul, in running his own SVN server, has gleaned
much more SCM-fu than I have.

Tagging for branches makes good sense to me.  Easy thing to remember
that equates to a snapshot of the source.
