Dear all, while organizing a cvs-repository, I set the revision number of a project to be 3.0 instead of 2.0 by issueing the command cvs commit -r 3.0 in the working directory. Is there any way to set back the revision to be 2.0? Or a way to undo the revision setting? I browsed the on-line

The uuencode format is an example of an ASCII-but-unmergeable format. In other words, after you've performed a merge between two or three uuencoded files, the output will likely be unrecognizable by the uudecode program. You're better off using something that's better suited to storing binaries.
