Hi Luigi, Bo and Tim, Thanks a lot. Yes I should use tag instead of manually assigning rev #. Actually, with cvsnt, help text by cvs -H commit shows nothing about -r option. It's fine with me not assigning the revision #, Just wondering: all the files managed by cvsnt will always have revision number of the form 1.* (i.e. the leading '1' will never be changed) ?
