That isn't necessary, just changing the state of the file requires a
rewrite of the repository.  For future reference, all you need do is:

        cvs rm -f file
        cvs ci -m 'temporarily remove file' file
        cvs add file
        cvs ci -m 'resurrect file correctly' file

"cvs add" when there's no local file will recreate it from the
repository.
