Something like this:
# make sure you don't have any sticky tags
cvs update -A file.ext
# get the older revision without setting a sticky tag
# (see the documentation for update -p)
cvs update -r <old-rev> -p file.ext >file.ext
# edit the file
# commit the "new" revision, which is identical to "old-rev"
cvs commit file.ext
Just make sure you're not wiping out any modifications that you *didn't*
want to trashcan!
