I created folders /tags, /branches and /trunk on SVN server. I put initial project file into /trunk. But other folders confuses me.

What should I put in /tags? I see most people do not ever use this folder. Is this like a temp folder or so?

As I understood, the purpose of branches is to host a different versions. So I will have /branches/myapp_v1.0.0, /branches/myapp_v1.0.1, etc. Right?

If this is true, how do I "tell" subversion tool (tortoise on windows, svn on linux) to upload project files into such and such folder?
