 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.
