B & C) should be able to recover from using the method you have used
below. (but I think from the errors you got, that A was what was
used...i.e. they only did an OS remove not a cvs remove.)
I wouldn't edit the files by hand, but use rcs:
1) move the file from the dead directory back to its original location
2) find out the last version of the file before it got deleted:
rlog file_name |grep 'revision ' |head -1 |cut -f 2 -d" "
3) assuming you get 1.14, do:
rcs -sEXP:1.14 file_name
