It's difficult to say without more information. Can you post the
sequence of commands you used to reproduce the problem in your test
directory?

There should be a file in your working directory with same name as
your original file, prefixed with .#, and with the original file's
version number appended to it. For example, if the file name is
afile.txt and it was revision 1.4, the saved file would be .#afile.txt.1.4

However, if the .# file already exists, CVS will overwrite it. Since
you've repeatedly updated and tried committing, the original file may
now be lost.
