Basically, my changes to the script fixed the part that was breaking on my
archives, but the changes broke other parts (including this one.) I can fix
it OK, but I hate working on code whose purpose I don't understand.
Thanks for the replys,

It's CVS, not RCS, that wants branch numbers to be even. I'm not
sure why. (
I'm in the process of converting a project from pvcs to cvs. I found the
pvcs2cvs.pl script, which basically extracts each rev from pvcs and then
checks it into rcs. I'm tweaking the script to handle some cases the original
