RE: how do I undo local changes

[Jason Sicotte]

$ cvs -H up
    Usage: cvs.exe update [-APCdflRp] [-k kopt] [-r rev] [-D date] [-j rev]
        -A      Reset any sticky tags/date/kopts.
        -P      Prune empty directories.
        -C      Overwrite locally modified files with clean repository
copies.
        ( . . . )
        -W spec Wrappers specification line.

Looks like you want -C
