You are trying to implement, in CVS, a completely different version
control model from what the software supports. Versions are not modeled
as new directories in CVS; rather, version history is superimposed
on a directory structure as a separate dimension.

CVS doesn't know that the modules ``version 1'' and ``version 11'' are
related in any way.  This is a semantic convention of your own which
you have imposed on the repository. If you want to automate your
version control scheme, you have to develop your own software.

If you want to do branching and merging with CVS, you will have
to learn to do it in the manner supported by CVS.
