+ <h4>Q: How to revert changes?</h4>
+ 
+ <h4>A:</h4>
+ The fast (and history-friendly) method for backing out a CVS commit is the use
+ of the <tt>join</tt> flag of the <tt>update</tt> 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:
+ 
+ <blockquote>
+   <tt>cvs update -j 1.17 -j 1.16 ceval.c</tt> <tt>cvs update</tt> <tt>cvs
+   commit ceval.c</tt></blockquote>
+ This example would create and apply a reverse patch from revision 1.17 to
+ revision 1.16 of <tt>ceval.c</tt>.
