CVS revision numbers

When I do a cvs status of my project I get different revision numbers for different files. What is happening here? Should not all the files have the same revision number?

The CVS revision number reflects how many times that file has been changed. If you want something consistent across a project you'll need to use cvs tag after committing to give everything a consistent label.

no. cvs does not have a single revision number like more modern version control systems. Each file has its own separate version. If there is any way you can move to another version control system like subversion, mercurial, git...do it.

CVS doesn't have global revision numbers, they are per-file. (In fact, CVS doesn't even have atomic commits)
