> For reverting a complex checkin, you can generate a reverse delta:
> cvs diff -r 1.43 -r 1.42 urllib2.py > revert.diff
> patch urllib2.py revert.diff
> cvs ci -m "Revert to 1.42" urllib2.py
Note that you can skip a step (and so avoid a chance to make a mistake) by
reverting directly during an update, replacing the first two lines with:
cvs up -j 1.43 -j 1.42 urllib2.py
As in Raymond's example too, the order in which the revision arguments
appear is vital.
