You don't need a checked out copy of the *file*, you need a checked out
copy of the *directory* that contains (or used to contain) it.  See the
end of: <http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_5.html#SEC62>.

I've been reading that part and I've been trying some of the examples,
however it couldn't get the files in the Attic restored.
The link you gave me to chapter 5 deals with branching and merging and I
couldn't see anything that brings back files in the Attic.
What can I do to check that my repository is not corrupted, and restoring of
repository should be possible?
