Each line consists of a valid tag name followed by a space and the
letter "y".

Branch names *are* tags. CVS uses it to validate that a user-entered
tag is valid: If the tag appears in the val-tags file, it is assumed to
be valid. If the tag does not appear in the val-tags file, then CVS
goes looking through all of the files in the repository that are
specified in the command. If one of them contains the tag, it is valid
and is added to the val-tags file. If it is not found, the user is
given an error message.
