No, $Revision:$ is internal bookkeeping for CVS, nothing more.  In some sense, 
it would be better if it were _never_ exposed to the users at all, but that ship 
sailed a long time ago.

Depending on your usage pattern, you can use the $Revision:$ as a sort of marker 
for the inexerable march forward towards perfection in your code.  But it is not 
suitable for use as the project version because CVS will not follow what you 
would normally want to do when incrementing it (with respect to branches and 
vendor branches).
