  In fact, in the general case when you want to make your head revision the
same as revision N, you can save yourself the hassle of looking up the current
rev number (for the first -j arg) by using the non-sticky-revision-fetching
option '-p':

cvs up -r1.1 -p >code.pl
cvs ci -m "Reverted to r1.1" code.pl
