It is probably also worth making the CVS id of the actual file
continue to increment monatonically.
ie make the new file have revision 1.xxx+1 if the old one was 1.xxx
(rather than starting again at 1.1).

FWIW why does no one (except me) ever increment the first number?
I would have thought it would be worth doing at every major source
freeze (eg near the point where a release branch occurs).
