CVS versioning starts with 1.1 [message #159450]

We use CVS. All new files get the version 1.1 automatically when they are
commited the first time.

Why 1.1? Why not 1.0?

And how could we change it so that every new file which is commited starts
with version 1.0?

Basically, you have no control over version numbers. CVS uses them to
keep track of revision and branching paths. See

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.7/cvs_4.html#SEC 44

for why CVS chooses what it chooses.

Can't it really not be changed so that it starts with 1.0 instead of 1.1?

It says "By default revision 1.1 is the first revision of a file." It sounds
to me that the default can be changed.

It can be changed to be a higher number using a switch on the commit
statement but the use of this switch is not supported in Eclipse. Having
said that, I don't see any compeling reason why 1.0 would be preferrable
over 1.1. As you crate and edit multiple files, there is no way to keep
there revision numbers in sync anyway. What is important is that version
tags are used to identify configurations of a set of files so they can
be retrieved for builds, etc.

Changing the revision numbering scheme is generally frowned upon in the
CVS community. The link above says that the revision numbers are
internal and not of general concern for most uses of CVS. It also
clearly talks about the use of CVS Tags to label files or groups of
files in a project-dependent way.
