Just to expand on this a bit: The correct way to undo changes is use a
merge to reverse the unwanted changes and then commit a new revision.
What your colleague should have done was:
cvs up -j1.3 -j1.2 access_log.c
cvs ci -m'back out 1.3 changes'
You should *never* outdate a revision unless you know for sure that no
one has it checked out or has tagged it and you're prepared to deal with
these kinds of headaches when you find out that you're mistaken. :-)
