In SVN there is no concept of Branch, Label and so on, all these operations
are performed by "copy" if you want LABEL your source is enough create a
directory and copy all the source in that directory.
In order to emulate the way to work of CVS is enough follow these guidelines:

We are migrating from Clearcase to SVN and the only think we are going
to miss is the UCM process.
