+ <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>
