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?
