I just want to check how "cvs up -j1.1 f1.c" works? It's not related
with my real research work.

Sorry for the confusion. should be:
  the operation "cvs up -j1.1 f1.c" did nothing on the file f1.c under
my working directory.. I dont know why? while the following command
worked fine:

    cvs -q up -p -r1.1 f1.c > f1.c

and this does not change the revision history of f1.c..
