Nowdays some mystic with CVS branches values much more than fixes. :-( You revert to the original by applying the reverse patch of your changes and committing that. This can be easily done with cvs. And then you explain in the commit messages why it was reverted. This way, what you intended to do stays in the log, and why it had to be backed out stays in the log, so people won't blunder into doing the same thing again in the future. Well, not anyone who has the wisdom of checking the cvs log for similar changes in the past first, which ought to be a standard practice for committers. -- Daniel C.
