It seems the not incrementing is an indication that the rename didn't
execute properly. Right now I have a directory where I'm trying to rename a
file, and no matter where I commit, it doesn't seem to "stick". 

Goes like this:

<P:\client\project\Docs>41>cvs ren A.doc B.doc
cvs rename: Warning: rename is still experimental and may not behave as you
would expect
<P:\client\project\Docs>42>cd ..
<P:\client\project>43>cvs ci -m "rename A.doc"
Checking in Docs/0index.txt;
/projects/client/project/Docs/0index.txt,v  <--  0index.txt
new revision: 1.4; previous revision: 1.3
done

After this, I have B.doc in my sandbox, but any new checkout still fetches
A.doc. I also tried to commit it with no other file changed, and I also
tried to commit it with "cvs ci Docs" and from one more directory up.

Anyone any ideas why this one won't stick?

Thanks,
Gerhard
