[SLUG] Another CVS Question

CVS assigns rev numbers on the order of 1.1.2, 1.2.1.1, etc. My
experience has been that in the process of developing a project I have
various files of various CVS-assigned revision numbers. When I finally
get to a release point, I have to figure out a way to know that version
of 1.1 of this file, 1.3 of that file, etc., all equal my public release
of "Version 3.2". It seems that assigning cvs "tags" might be a possible
solution, but tags must start with a letter (not "3.2"). Or you could
tarball each major public version, but that kinda defeats the purpose of
CVSing things.

So I'm wondering, in real production environments, how do project admins
track this and keep everything straight (when using CVS)?
