Maximum value for revison numbers?

[LennardL]

hi folks,

does anyone know about a maximum value for revision numbers?
since i'm writing a "small" java cvs client for my application i need to set
the revision numbers manually in some cases. therefore i need to increase
the revision number on the client and commit the file. and the question is
"are there any limitations for increasing" or for example is this revision
number valid : "1.2.98989..." ?

thx for hints

The maximum value of a long int on your system, which is at least
2147483647. Most of the code treats them as strings to avoid imposing
any limit, but there are a few places that (incorrectly) convert them to
numbers.
