It doesn't relate to how the software works - pure scaffolding, so
perhaps your looking at the wrong docs.

The Savannah and other GNU docs do refer to CVS, but not extensively,
perhaps RMS uses something else ;)

Since you tag after checkin usually - I'm guessing "$EDITOR
configure.in", certainly I use the version value in configure.in as the
"definitive" version number, and everything else is derived from it,
including me CVS tags although they are derived manually.

That isn't to say you can't use CVS to put it in, I'm just not sure it
is simpler to do it that way.
