i’m going to be responsible for deciding how tagging branching is going to happen in our CVS/SVN repo.
Is there any literature that will help me understand the best way to work with CVS? either branching/tagging, etc?
thanks

My personal experience during more than 10 years of CVS at the FreeBSD project is: switch to something else as fast as you can. CVS is file oriented not snapshot/changeset oriented which makes merging beween branches rather painful. Branches are painful with CVS anyway.
As for resources for CVS see CVS Home
If you want to talk about SVN, I’d suggest the SVN Book itself and this question.
