You tag on a RC and you branch on a final release if you think that you are going to continue on that branch while adding new functionality to HEAD. What I suggest is that you first tag the release and then decide later if you want to branch based on the development styles (you can go back and make a branch from a tag). Ant tends to have more random/unstable development than Lucene which makes it more of a candidate for branching. All in all, branches with CVS are a pain in the ass.
