Once again, forget about CVS revision numbers! They aren't for you.

When you think you are ready to release your version 1.0, tag the entire
project using:

cvs tag version-1-0

command in your working directory containing no local changes with
respect to the repository.

When later you need to checkout sources of version 1.0 of your program,
do:

cvs checkout -r version-1-0 project_name

It's that easy, -- just stop thinking about CVS revision numbers that
have absolutely nothing to do with your program version(s).
