I'm interested in why the branch numbers for CVS are even? E.g. 1.2.0.2. What is 1.2.0.1 used for? Is it used by CVS internally?

    what's your 2nd question about? "the web"? do you mean StackOverflow? If so the reason is self-explanatory. You are possibly writing too little – Adrian Shum Nov 06 '12 at 04:12
  • Revision numbers end in both odd and even numbers. Why do you think they always end in even numbers? – Burhan Ali Nov 10 '12 at 10:38
  • @BurhanAli please note that I meant "branch number" instead of "revision number". – Shengyan Nov 12 '12 at 14:27

This is an implementation detail of CVS. There is some magic about the version numbers involved (look at rcs.h and rcs.c for details).
