Well, aside from my immediate purpose (which Larry has already suggested an
alternative for), I've had, on occassion, wanted to undo an update (possibly
'cos someone checked something in that breaks my build). I am, of course,
assuming that I might have to take care of my local changes myself. But, as it
stands, a simple fix to "cvs up [ -D <date> | -r <revision> ] -A" would allow
this. Is there really a reason why "-A" doesn't work when the update command is
also given "-D" or "-r"?
Again, fixing this would also get rid of the kludgy "cvs up -p -r <revision>
file >file".
