read up on 'cvs admin'
A choice example in the cvs "info" page.
If a file accidentally gets added without `-kb', one can use the
`cvs admin' command to recover. For example:
$ echo '$Id$' > kotest
$ cvs add -m"A test file" kotest
$ cvs ci -m"First checkin; contains a keyword" kotest
$ cvs admin -kb kotest
$ cvs update -A kotest
# For non-unix systems:
# Copy in a good copy of the file from outside CVS
$ cvs commit -m "make it binary" kotest

You can't share these files like you do mergable text files. If two
people modify these
at the same time you'll get conflicts. You can use cvs watch to help
manage this but
it's proably overkill in many situations.
