You can branch just one file, though some people do not recommend it. cvs co -r1.33 fileA cvs tag -b fileA Or cvs rtag -b -r1.3 /path/to/fileA > #or IIRC > cvs update -j1.50 -j1.33 fileA > BTW - if not branching then this is what I would call the 'preferred method' since a tool like CVSNT will record the 'mergepoint' and allow you to 'see' that revision 1.51 is related to 1.33.
