Don't try. The file revision numbers chosen by CVS are meaningful to it,
and you should treat them as entirely independent from the version
numbers you assign to releases of your project. As far as file revision
numbers go, it's best by far just to let CVS get on with it and forget
that they have any meaning.
In particular, trying to change the length of branch version numbers
will lead you into a world of pain, and I suspect is probably not
possible.
