Well, as you might remember, I can't use anything past 1.11. :) (anything
past that is broken on Win32). And I can guarantee that noone did this by
manually editing the files or using cvs admin. What I think happened (but
haven't had time to test) is that they manually specifed a revision on the
commit, i.e. cvs -r 1.1.0.2 or whatever).

For what it's worth -- i.e. not much, but it amuses me for some
reason...
Out of curiosity, I tried to reproduce this in 1.11.1p1 (I know
I've got 1.11.2 installed around here somewhere; now which box is
it on again?)
I succeeded:
RCS file: /u03/home/erics/t/Repos/foo/a,v
Working file: a
head: 1.1
branch:
locks: strict
access list:
symbolic names:
b: 1.1.0.0
keyword substitution: o
total revisions: 2; selected revisions: 2
description:
----------------------------
revision 1.1
date: 2002/07/04 16:53:24; author: erics; state: Exp;
branches: 1.1.0;
*** empty log message ***
----------------------------
revision 1.1.0.1
date: 2002/07/04 16:54:54; author: erics; state: Exp; lines: +1 -1
foo
============================================================================

But to do it I had to manually edit the ,v file to give tag "b"
its bogus revision number 1.1.0.0.
I tried to use cvs admin to create a branch with a .0.0 revision
number (using a different tag name to avoid a name collision):
% cvs admin -nb2:1.1.0.0 a
RCS file: /u03/home/erics/t/Repos/foo/a,v
cvs [admin aborted]: revision `1.1.0.0' does not exist
%
That was before I'd made the hand-edit and checked in revision 1.1.0.1.
Interestingly enough, when I tried it again afterward, it worked!
% cvs admin -nb2:1.1.0.0 a
RCS file: /u03/home/erics/t/Repos/foo/a,v
done
%
and
symbolic names:
b2: 1.1.0.0
b: 1.1.0.0
