I didn't even know that was allowed.  The grammar allows it
(rcsfile(5)) but I thought the commands filtered out such revision
numbers.  (For that matter, the grammar also allows "0..1" and ci
rejects that.)

A workaround would be to "ci -f1.1" all your files before moving them
into the cvs repository.  You might lose some functionality with
the history before 1.1 .
