How about "please don't care about the CVS revision numbers, use your
own scheme with the use of tags?"

Seriously - is it not true that if you check out, edit, and commit one
of these imported files with the eeeeevil 4-ply revision number, that
the new version is "1.2"?  And - unless this has changed since 1.10 -
is it not true that the original, imported file can be addressed either
as 1.1.1.1 *or* 1.1?  I quote from the "cvs log" output for such a
file:

    revision 1.1
    date: 2001/09/14 17:42:01;  author: mjackson;  state: Exp;
    branches:  1.1.1;
    Initial revision
    ----------------------------
    revision 1.1.1.1
    date: 2001/09/14 17:42:01;  author: mjackson;  state: Exp;  lines: +0 -0
    initial import

Same file, two numbers.  In what sense does this *not* meet your actual needs?
