So CVSNT is breaking compatibility with CVS now? This is quite
surprising. What if a CVS client does this operation while the server
is CVSNT?

BTW, that CVS feature looks useful to me. In my current attempt, I am
not to increase the version number to 2.0, but to make it the same as
the same file in another repository. I know nothing of the roadmap of
CVSNT, but at least $Version$ shows useful version information visible
to the user, which the user might want to adjust in certain
circumstances.

Best regards,

Yongwei
