Re: Version numbers

[alant]

It is best to totally ignore version numbers, and treat them as an internal
detail to CVS.  You should use CVS tags to control access to a specific revision
of a file, or use a date if need be.

BTW, the decimal is just a separator between the "1" and another integer which
in incremented starting at 1.  Thus, the first version is "1.1", followed by
"1.2", etc.  After "1.9" comes "1.10", "1.11", etc.

Just ignore the revision numbers and you'll be much happier.  Trust me on this
one.

I can't seem to find a way to  amke the version numbers increase by
hundredth and not by 10th, or control how the versions show up.  Here is
what I mean  (I know what a doofus)

filea.java  1.6

if I commit it, it goes to 1.7

I hate that.  I would like to see this:

filea.java 1.6.001

cvs commit

filea.java 1.6.002

Is this possible?

Thanks.
