It's not clear what you want to do.  If you want to keep track of bug
fixes to Release1, then you need to create a branch to do that and merge
any fixes that need to go into the current release to the trunk.  If you
just want to fix a bug that was first found in Release1 in the current
release, you can make the change to the files that you checked out in
Release1, test it, then do "cvs update -A" to update to the current
revision (which will merge your changes) and then commit.  You should
probably read the chapter on branching and merging in the manual:
