The closest thing is $Name$, but

    1)  It expands only release tags, not branch tags.
    2)  The expansion occurs on checkout -rTAG or export -rTAG,
        but not on update -rTAG.

This is from memory, I may be wrong.  If you need the branch
information, you'll need to extract it in a build script using cvs
status.  And that will only work from a checked-out sandbox, not an
exported tree.
