Try reading up on tags. This solves this specific problem. Subversion has an 
equivalent feature, AFAIK.

You may be consoled to know that it's not the most idiotic thing I've ever 
seen someone do with CVS. Someone on the Lua mailing list once told us that 
the place where they worked collapsed all CVS revisions together between each 
major release... so version 0.1 of a file corresponded to the first release, 
version 0.2 the second, etc, and that they *threw away* all the change 
information between that.

Needless to say, we were a little startled.
