Re: revision numbers

[Paul Sander]

That source file seems to have been passed around between several development
efforts that use RCS or CVS for version control.  Each time the file was
shipped, its revision history was included.  When it was imported (or
initially checked in) by a new shop, the revision history was checked in
with it.  Because of the way the $Log$ keyword is implemented, it's
impossible to see just the revision history added by your shop without
editing each file first.

I have noticed a strange thing with the revision numbers for some 
files.When the file is opened, it shows the revision numbers and log 
messages at the top, there it is showing revision numbers like 
1.1,1.2,1.3 ... and again below 1.1,1.2,1.3 with different log 
messages as below.

 * Revision 1.4  2000/11/29 23:13:35  adam

 *
 * Revision 1.1  2000/06/20 23:18:56  oli
 * the SDM filters have now extracted from sdm.c & sdm_p.

But when I do log on the file, it is showing revision numbers from 
1.6 to 1.1  ie. it is not showing some of the messages that it shows 
in the file.
Can someone explain why this is happening?
