Should B be 2/2/2/5/1 here?  So you are adopting a version number based 
on the parent's minor version at time the file was created?  I had 
misunderstood that you were recalculating the version number based on 
the _current_ directory minor version (recalculating it on each file 
version access) rather than actually storing it as a file attribute at 
the time of file creation.

I think this would work as well as the scheme I was proposing, assuming 
you are also updating all child version numbers on the move of a parent.

Derek
