In CVS each file has its owwn "revision number".  Thus, there is no
"tree-wide version number".  In general, you can refer to the date of
the last commit you have updated to.  This is not so easy or useful for
"mixed version" trees, where you have all the commits up to, for
instance, date A but have manually applied the patch B to the tree (from
another date, B).

Why do you want to find out this "tree-wise" revision?  Perhaps there is
some other way to obtain the information you are after...
