import without branch?

[onno]

Hi there,
Is it possible to import a source-tree without assigning it a
revision-number of 1.1.1.1 ? I`m just setting up a repository and find it
rather strange i get 1.1.1.1 as initial revision if i add my sources with
import? is there any other way to add my tree to the repository?

Since using cvs in my site will involve a lot of branches, is it handy to
put the branch in the .cvsrc file? developpers ususally work on one
branch/customer.
Thanx.
