tortoiseCVS how to tell tag from branch

Question

I have a dummy question. I have so many tags in cvs Now I am not sure which ones are real branches which ones are simply tags.

Thanks

Select any one file in CVS, right click History, then tortoiseCVS gives a list of history including all tags and branches.
The tags are in yellow background, branches are in green background.

Also the icons for tags are different from branches on the history window.

Tag icon is a curve arrow within a square, while branch icon is two-overlapped dog-eared pages.
