you can use rtag to create a branch without having a local copy, but
then you need an additional argument, the revision the branch should
be rooted at :

 % cvs -z3 rtag -b -r <root-revision> balsa-0-8 balsa

If you have a working copy you can just use tag, as in

 % cvs -z3 tag -b balsa-0-8

Follow this with an update to tag your files as branch files.
