1) Get a checked-out copy of the current version of the file.
2) Change the contents to what you want them to be.
3) Commit the changes.

This should look familiar. :-)

The easiest way to accomplish step 2 is to either use cvs update with
two -j options to reverse all the changes that you don't want any more:

        cvs up -j HEAD -j 1.2 file

or use cvs update with -p and redirect the output into the file:

        cvs up -r 1.2 -p file >file
