Why on earth are you fiddling with revision numbers? These numbers had
somewhat of a user-visible role in RCS. In CVS, version numbers are
an implementation artifact of the repository; just let the software
assign the numbers.

What imagined castrophe will befall you if you just leave the version 
number at 3, and never touch version numbers again?

Use release tags for identifying releases; do not try to use
revision numbers for this purpose. That is an archaic RCS-ism.
