Welcome to the new ctm-users mailing list. I thought I would get a discussion going by discussing an issue we will face in about nine months time. cvs-cur goes through about 100 deltas per month, which indicates that the current numbering system is going to run out in about nine months. There are several ways to overcome this - for example, to change to a five digit numbering system. However, the quick and dirty method I am currently thinking of using is to simply restart the numbering. This would mean that everyone would have to delete the old cvs-cur directory, and completely restart with a cvs-cur.0100xEmpty.gz. This will be a recurring problem, but only every 8 years or so. On the other hand, one of the writers of the original software has suggested that he might rewrite it to accomodate a 5 digit numbering system.
