rollback/revert changes?

[Nick Papadonis]

I was thinking.  Many people have told me this is a kludge.  Other vc
systems support rollback.  Is support for rollback (cvs rollback
file.c -v ?) worth diving into the cvs source?  A few people have told me it
would be productive, but they didn't want to touch the cvs code.

?????
