No. SVN tag == SVN branch == shallow directory copy.

There is just a convention in SVN to distinguish branches and tags. Both
are the same thing, just in different places ( /branches and /tags).

A CVS tag is something totally different. A CVS tag is a named set of
different file revisions and basically a kludge if you do not have a
repository-wide atomic revision number. Which subversion has.
