Ok I didn't explain myself correctly.  Yes I don't care about the internal 
number, and yes I would love to see a way for me to maintain my own 
versions so I know exactly what's on the web box and what I have in 
CVS.  So if I can have my own versioning increased based on what I do when 
I check in, that would be great.  Is there a way to do this that I'm not 
seeing?


Thanks.
