I'm not 100% sure this is appropriate, but in general, I think "<rev>" and "<rev>.1" should be considered the same thing, no? Which implies that "1.1" and "1.1.1.1" are all the same thing, and collapse to just "1", ie a zero dot-count. They are all the same version, after all, no? This gets rid of the insane (?) special case of "1.1.1.1" that exists there now, since it's now no longer a special case. I also wonder if trailing ".1" revisions should be ignored when comparing two revisions. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxx> --- Yeah, I don't know RCS file logic.
