4.1 Revision numbers
====================
Each version of a file has a unique "revision number". Revision
numbers look like `1.1', `1.2', `1.3.2.2' or even `1.3.2.2.4.5'. A
revision number always has an even number of period-separated decimal
integers. By default revision 1.1 is the first revision of a file.
Each successive revision is given a new number by increasing the
rightmost number by one. The following figure displays a few
revisions, with newer revisions to the right.
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+
! 1.1 !----! 1.2 !----! 1.3 !----! 1.4 !----! 1.5 !
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+
It is also possible to end up with numbers containing more than one
period, for example `1.3.2.2'. Such revisions represent revisions on
branches ( Branching and merging); such revision numbers are
explained in detail in Branches and revisions.
