Anyway,
I'll go one step further: having no symbolic tags when working with branches is plain wrong. Never use numeric revisions for branches. Always use symbolic tags, and don't forget to apply a non-branch tag to the branch point. Never *tell* CVS what revision number to use - let it figure out the numbers. Antony, getting back to your original question: Why do you want to specify the numeric revision?
