You can't do this.  2.0 is a 'reserved' number by RCS and you can't 
create a revision with that number anyway, plus you can't use commit -r 
to create it (import will create 2.x.x branches if it has to).

Don't use -r to specify revisions.  Revision numbers are internal to CVS 
and shouldn't changed.  Use tags to mark specific revisions instead.
