Subject: RE: Getting a file that was removed in repository back?

of
:repository should be possible?
Here i'm pasting that part of the manual:
Specifying two `-j' options can also undo file removals or additions. For
example, suppose you have a file named `file1' which existed as revision
1.1, and you then removed it (thus adding a dead revision 1.2). Now suppose
you want to add it again, with the same contents it had previously. Here is
how to do it:
$ cvs update -j 1.2 -j 1.1 file1
U file1
$ cvs commit -m test
Checking in file1;
/tmp/cvs-sanity/cvsroot/first-dir/file1,v <-- file1
new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2
done

Thanks for spelling it out Mr. Sherzod
It worked out fine. The only thing is that I couldn't restore all the file
at once or the whole directory. I had to restore them file by file. Anyhow,
that is not much of an issue unless you have hundreds of different files to
restore.
