Oh that's pretty much how I do things. I mean I don't increment the number often (certainly not every save, just whenever I feel like I've made a major change) but same idea. Not really knowing anything about computer science or engineering or anything, I don't understand what CVS does. The one time I tried to use SourceForge I ran away screaming. I felt like I failed as a nerd.
That's still MUCH better than this one friend of mine who I collaborate with a lot. He's a 3D artist, and when we work together on projects (eg. right now) he'll frequently save additional copies of models to experiment on, with the result that he'll send me a folder full of stuff like "building.b3d", "buildingz.b3d", "buildingzzz.b3d", and "_building.b3d", and he has no idea which one is which or what the difference is between them. @#$!@%$!@#$!
