You want to do a reverse merge to undo the changes and then commit. To
do that, you'll need to (temporarily) tag the version you want -- I
suggest updating your directory (probably using a date/time) to the
state you want. Once you've verified that it is, in fact, what you
want, tag it and do the reverse merge. The sequence would be something
like:
cvs update -D yesterday
cvs tag TEMP
cvs update -j HEAD -j TEMP
cvs commit -m'undo erroneous checkin'
cvs tag -d TEMP
Note that if there is any possibility of anyone else having checked in
changes after your erroneous checkin, you should tag the files (with a
second temporary tag) before updating to the previous state and then use
that tag instead of HEAD in the merge to avoid undoing those other
changes.
