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
numberedrevision   of any file in the same directory, takes the first digit, and   assigns a revision of <digit>.1 to
newfiles. In other words, if you   have a file in the same directory that has a revision of 2.30, a new   file in that
directorywill 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.
