Guillaume,

What version of CVS are you using?  Which version on the client, which
on the server?

It depends on the version of CVS ;)

If you are using CVSNT (CVS 2.x) on linux, mac, solaris, hpux or windows
then you just use the -1 keyword expansion option:
http://march-hare.com/library/cvsnt/Substitution-modes.html

> If you then use something like `cvs admin -o 1.1 test_cases.tgz`,

Beware of using 'cvs admin' arbitrarily, it's an 'admin' option, and (in
my opinion) not designed for 'day to day' use.  I.e.: before running
'cvs admin' I always make sure I've got a backup of the repository.

Regards,

Arthur Barrett

The original post did already make it quite clear this was dangerous,
but then there is no particular harm in underscoring that fact.
