Where do you find this commitid? ALso is there something similar to this for an update? I.e. someone updated an existing tree in error. Is there a way to return to the previous tree? Just wondering.

Eg (something like): cvs update -j @commitid -j "<@commitid" filename or modulename I believe that CVS 1.12 has backported some or all of this functionality, but you'll have to check the manual.
