It's a 3 step process:

1. Create a branchpoint tag
	$ cvs -d <repository> rtag <branch-name>-branchpoint

2. Create a branch off of that branchpoint
	$ cvs -d <repository> rtag -b -r <branch-name>-branchpoint <branch-name> gcc

3. Check-out the newly created branch
	$ cvs -d <repository> co -r <branch-name>


That's what I've used in the past to create branches.  I also have an
automatic script for doing mainline->branch merges, if you're
interested.
