Curious, do you work with "Sumanth M" <address@hidden>?
BTW his email addy, is broken, I hope yours is real. Please use real (even 
real for groups only gmail) email accounts, or put @this.domain.does.not.exist .

The answer is, you do NOT want to mess with the revision numbers, they are for 
CVS to do book keeping.

You want to learn to use tags, i.e., `cvs tag` or `cvs rtag`.

BTW this question is a user question, not a bug. please keep user questions on 
the address@hidden list.
