Re: Undo check out

[Paul Sander]

You don't.  CVS doesn't have the notion of a traditional checkout that 
involves locking.  There may be a record in history that a workspace 
has been created (which is what CVS calls a "checkout") that can be 
countered by invoking the "cvs release" command.

If, on the other hand, someone is trying to simulate a reserved 
checkout mechanism using the "cvs admin" command, there's a different 
option to that command that clears the RCS level lock.  But using "cvs 
admin" in this manner is strongly discouraged.
