+    <para>Similarly, in CVS a tag or branch is an annotation on the
+      file, or on the version information for that individual file,
+      whereas in Subversion a tag or branch is a copy of an entire
+      tree (by convention, into the <filename>/branches</filename>
+      or <filename>/tags</filename> directories that appear at the top
+      level of the repository, beside <filename>/trunk</filename>). In
+      the repository as a whole, many versions of each file may be
+      visible: the latest version on each branch, every tagged
+      version, and of course the latest version on the trunk
+      itself. So, to refine the terms even further, one would often
+      say <quote><filename>foo.c</filename> as it appears in
+      <filename>/branches/REL1</filename> in revision
+      5.</quote></para>
