Subject: recovering from the attic


Hi All;
    I have run into a problem that some people deleted some files that they want back. 
The files are in the attic so I figure this is easy, they just have to add them back 
in and commit.  Well it didn't quite work out that way.  When I run cvs add <filename> 
I get the message from cvs that it is recovering file version and to commit. I commit 
and I see the file just find. I do a log the file and the file version numbers are 
correct. When I open the file, it is blank.  If I do a cvs update -r <previous version 
that was deleted> <filename>  I get the file I expect, but when I do a status cvs says 
the file is up to date.  So how do I get a deleted file back from the attic without 
the file being blank.  These are text files by the way. 

TIA

Joseph
