Terminology
A delta is a set of changes made to a file under SCCS custody.
To identify and keep track of a delta, it is assigned an SID
(SCCS IDentification) number.
The SID for any original file turned over to SCCS is composed of
release number 1 and level number 1, stated as 1.1.
The SID for the first set of changes made to that file,
that is, its first delta, is release 1 version 2, or 1.2.
The next delta would be 1.3, the next 1.4, and so on.
(For more on delta numbering, see
``Delta numbering''.)
At this point, it is enough to know that by default SCCS
assigns SIDs automatically.
