RE: Getting a file that was removed in repository back?

 :I've been reading that part and I've been trying some of the examples,
 :however it couldn't get the files in the Attic restored.
 :The link you gave me to chapter 5 deals with branching and merging and I
 :couldn't see anything that brings back files in the Attic.
 :What can I do to check that my repository is not corrupted, and restoring of
 :repository should be possible?
 

Here i'm pasting that part of the manual:

Specifying two `-j' options can also undo file removals or additions. For 
example, suppose you have a file named `file1' which existed as revision 1.1, 
and you then removed it (thus adding a dead revision 1.2). Now suppose you want 
to add it again, with the same contents it had previously. Here is how to do it:

  $ cvs update -j 1.2 -j 1.1 file1
U file1
$ cvs commit -m test
Checking in file1;
/tmp/cvs-sanity/cvsroot/first-dir/file1,v  <--  file1
new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2
done
$
