Two options come to mind:
1) If your file was the first version, get someone to delete the
corresponding Repository file, go back to the drawing board
and start from scratch.
2) If not, move the file out of your local sandbox, update the
previous version (the one just before you comittied), put your
copy over it, execute cvs admin -kb on your local file and
commit it.
