This behaviour is intentional, and the reason is specifically to
force a rebuild. In your particular case, the rebuild might have
been unnecessary, but in general it's very necessary. Suppose
foo.o was based on rev. 1.5 and you'd just gone "cvs update
-r1.4 foo.c". Or, closer to home, suppose foo.o was built from a
modified version of 1.5 (i.e. with not-yet-committed changes),
and you decided to revert the changes by doing exactly what you
in fact did.
