In CVS each file has its owwn "revision number". Thus, there is no "tree-wide version number". In general, you can refer to the date of the last commit you have updated to. This is not so easy or useful for "mixed version" trees, where you have all the commits up to, for instance, date A but have manually applied the patch B to the tree (from another date, B). Why do you want to find out this "tree-wise" revision? Perhaps there is some other way to obtain the information you are after... - Giorgos
