Brad Appleton and others "Branching Patterns for Parallel Software Development"
has helped me a lot. He also has a lot of SCM links on the page. (Note: the
page has moved...to)
http://www.cmcrossroads.com/bradapp/acme/

there are some books listed off of:
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/
http://ccvs.cvshome.org/fom//cache/80.html

David Thornley has some practical help for cvs users.
http://www.thornleyware.com/

try following the thread in:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2001-08/msg00771.html
there is some advice and links to resources there.

Also searching for books or resources or branching and scm may turn up
something  in the archives.

http://mail.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=resources&submit=Search&idxname=info-cvs

When I look back at a lot of the mailing list hits, I am begining to think we
probably need an entry in the "CVS Home FAQ-O-Matic"
http://ccvs.cvshome.org/fom//cache/1.html for this question.
