CVS branches without tags
There are a lot of CVS branches in Mozilla CVS that have been created
without creating a XXX_BASE and XXX_BRANCH tag. These branches have no
tags on them at all. Yet they are working branches since people branch
from them again at later dates.
Can someone explain to me how there are getting created?

You might have better luck asking on a cvs2svn users or developer mailing list.

I was talking about CVS, the CVS2SVN import tools assigned temp names
to these branches and was wondering where they come from.

Are you talking about CVS or Subversion? It sounds like you're
talking about CVS, because in Subversion, tags and branches are
nothing more than directories copied from, for example, the trunk.
And this is the Subversion mailing list. :-)
