The fast (and history-friendly) method for backing out a CVS commit is the use of the join flag of the update command. You supply the last version you committed (and probably messed up) with the first and the version you want to back out to with the second flag. Example given: cvs update -j 1.17 -j 1.16 ceval.c cvs update cvs commit ceval.c This example would create and apply a reverse patch from revision 1.17 to revision 1.16 of ceval.c.
