Simplifying the version number

[Mike Do]

Hi all,

I am trying to correct an error that was made with our cvs repository a
while back. We have what we consider to be our "main branch", which has
been tagged with the sticky tag R1-0. Most of the files with that
sticky tag have a working version number in the form 1.1.2.x. However
we have a few files that have much longer version numbers, e.g.
1.1.1.1.2.2.2.23. I guess when the original creation of the R1-0 main
branch was done, it included files merged from other branches.

What we would like to do is to get all the files in the main branch to
have a shorter version number, not necessarily 1.1.2.x but 1.1.x.y
would do. Is this feasible at all? I hope my question makes sense...

Thanks in advance.
