Peter explained this to me some time back. Revisions that have a "0" in the next-to-last position are special. RCS normally never creates such revision numbers. CVS takes advantage of that, and assigns a special meaning to them. They represent branch tags in CVS. A revision number of 1.7.0.4 _really_ means "the latest revision on the 1.7.4 branch." -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
