If you are using CVSNT then you should contact the CVSNT newsgroup.
CVSNT is not CVS:
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt

Please do not post questions about using CVSNT on the CVS newsgroup.

You can find out exactly what version of CVS/CVSNT you are using by
issuing the 'cvs ver' command at the command prompt.

It depends on what result you want.  Only one version can have the tag
rev6_3_452_6 and you have 'checked out' the rev6_3_452_6 'version' of
wcrepair.rc and you are now trying to change it using 'commit'.  Do you
want the 'new' version to be labelled rev6_3_452_6 or do you want the
'old' (original) version to be labelled 'rev6_3_452_6'.

Or just the manual:
