You are right about this part.  The logic could probably be changed to 
look for 1.1.1.1 in a new place.

What you seem to have munged is that currently, the text of an initial 
import is stored in 1.1, _not 1.1.1.1_.  Successive imports are stored 
in 1.1.1.2, 1.1.1.3, and so on.

What I am saying is that something about the way CVS stores data in the 
RCS files on import will have to be changed, which I thought you said 
you were trying to avoid.  1.1 is already marked dead in the case we are 
discussing and would no longer be usable.

You were pretty close, I think.
