The basic idea is:
cvs update -j<branch> -j<older-version-you-want-to-revert-to>
There are three choices for how to specify
<older-version-yada-yada>:
1. Use a release tag, if you happen to have one that's appropriate
2. Specify it by date (for the syntax, see the description of
"-j" in the node "update options" of the manual)
3. Do "the revision number thing". Yeah, you can do it, but
it'll be really painful for 700 files, since you'll have to
do it on each one individually.
Barring a release tag that's exactly correct, the best bet is
probably to combine either (1) or (2) with (3): start with a
date or release tag that's in the neighbourhood of the point you
want to revert to; then fine-tune on a file-by-file basis.

"Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything!
I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
