With cvs admin, you can remove the latest revision that mark the file
as 'DEAD'.
But I think that command does not move back the RCS file from Attic
to the normal directory.
Maybe you have to create a script to do the job from a working copy
(to avoid to get back DEAD files before the mistake):
cvs admin -o 1.x path/file
and a move command directly on the repository mv path/Attic/file
path/file
BUT you should test it first on a short test case and of course have
a complete backup before the final run...
Good luck
