I've got both a DRUPAL-5 branch and DRUPAL-5--1-0 tag on
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/job_queue/job...,
but I can't create the corresponding release nodes.

lemme guess, you made your branch and tag *before* you made the project
node, right?  the {cvs_tags} table was empty for this project, and i
think the only way that can possibly happen now is if you add
branches/tags when there's no project node at all.  i should document
this.


meanwhile, i manually added the records you need, so you should be all
set.

http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/quickstart#branch-tag already started
with:
"Note: Before you can branch/tag a module, it needs to have a project
created."


however, for good measure, i added a blurb to both:
http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/releases and
http://drupal.org/node/100748
