No, that's not the best way to do it. In fact, it's probably the worst
way possible. It's akin to cutting a hole through the side of your
house to get in rather than using the door. You undo a removal the same
way you undo any other change -- either brute force:
cvs up -r1.7 -p myfile >myfile
cvs add myfile
or with a merge:
cvs up -j1.8 -j1.7 myfile
(Assuming that the current dead revision is 1.8 and thus the revision
you want to resurrect is 1.7.)
