That's right, except you left out the seconds field. It should be:
date=98.03.12.00.00.00
Warning to everybody else: DON'T do this unless your usual supfile
already has a "tag" or "date" specification in it. If you don't
already have that, then you've been CVSupping the CVS repository,
not the checked-out -current tree. In that case, you should use
something like "cvs -q upd -D 3/12/98" to revert your tree. If
you are uncertain about this, read and reread cvsup(1) until you
understand the difference between CVS mode and checkout mode.
