That will only happen if you manually force the revision number in a
commit (I forget if this is even an option in cvs - the only time I've
ever actually done it is with RCS, which does allow specifying the
revision).

In general it's best to let CVS decide which numerical revision number
to use, and make a symbolic tag for places you want to reference
later.

I've never looked at the code to determine that, but it's highly
unlikely that anyone will ever make 4 billion revisions of the same
file ;-)
