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.
