That's cool. I can use that.

I think perhaps you are speaking as a cvs developer here not a cvs
user. To me "cvs unedit" has a closer meaning in english for
reverting files than "cvs update". But I guess the "cvs update -C"
isn't technically reverting files. Its updating them and throwing
away any local changes. I would still like to see "cvs unedit"
actually revert files (i.e. restore to the version you were editting
instead of the latest version).
