It should be fine.
<http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/notes/cvs/revisions.html> says:

**CVS, when assigning an initial version to a new file, doesn't
always assign 1.1. Instead, it finds the highest numbered revision
of any file in the same directory, takes the first digit, and
assigns a revision of <digit>.1 to new files. In other words, if you
have a file in the same directory that has a revision of 2.30, a new
file in that directory will get a revision number of 2.1, not 1.1.

For some unknown reason, we have some version 2.x files in doc/src/sgml:
<http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/doc/src/sgml/>, which is
why
you saw this.
