That tags the revision of `filename' that you have checked out, and
moves the tag if it already exists. If you've modified the file and not
checked your changes in, the tag will be applied to the base revision,
not including your changes.

This creates a branch, but won't actually work if you've already
applied the tag (you need `-F' to move the tag). If all you want to do
is create the branch, the first command is redundant.
Your working copy is still on the trunk though, because creating the
branch doesn't touch your working files. To get a branch copy, you
need to checkout (or update) the branch:
cvs update -r SRX643_OO filename
