cvs-1.10.8 has "cvs up -C" that'll give you a clean copy of the file.
Otherwise, you can do something like:
cvs -n up | grep '^M' | awk '{ print $2 }' | while read f
do
rm $f
cvs up $f
done
You might want to specify the local version to update, though by using something
like:
cvs up -p -r base-rev $f >$f
where base-rev is the version you have checked out. You can get the base-rev by
parsing the output of "cvs stat $f".

Subject: forced updates
Hi,
Very often I run in this problem: I edit some files to add debugging stuff,
and after a while I want to updated from CVS and to simply _overwrite_ the
changes I made.
I know, I can delete the files and then update. But, this is difficult
'cause sometimes I don't know what I've modified (and the files are
scattered in hundreds of directories). Questions:
1) can I do this in one shot?
2) can I do it on the command line?
3) can I do it in WinCVS?
TIA,
Dimi.
