Running off a similar issue, we discovered that braches/tags are disabled for install profiles in /contributions/profiles/. This could be a design decision (one install profile for all versions of Drupal), but the Drupal API has changed dramatically within the past year, so having just one install profile for all versions of Drupal isn't reasonable.

When you attempt to add a branch to a /contributions/profiles/ project, you receive something like the following message:

Tags not allowed in /contributions/profiles/drupalbin.

cvs tag: Pre-tag check failed
cvs [tag aborted]: correct the above errors first!

Error, CVS operation failed

... We need branches and tags for Drupal install profiles in /contributions/profiles/. Thanks a lot!

Yeah, shockingly, the contrib repo just isn't configured to allow tags in the profiles directory. ;) I can't decide if it's funny or just sad that no one's tried to make an official release nor branch any of the install profiles until now...

Anyway, this is a trivial fix, stay tuned.

Should be working now. Please reopen if you continue to have trouble branching or tagging an install profile.
