I think that $Name$ is what you need.
Create a dummy module for testing. Create a file "foo" with the
$Name$ string in the module. Use
cvs tag TEST_TAG foo
cvs export -r TEST_TAG dummy_module
Look at the exported file. The string should now be $Name: TEST_TAG$
I am not sure if this works with a branch tag. Use a regular tag
derived from the branch tag. For example, if you want to export
branch "ABCD" today, you could, for example, tag the module with
"ABCD_020408"
