I believe the right way to revert a change is to use two -j flags.
Something like this
# get the HEAD
cvs co module
# update it to revert the changes
cvs update -j HEAD -j <tag>
# commit it back
cvs commit
So if there's no tag on the version you want to revert to, then check
that out first using a -D and tag it. Then do the above to revert the
HEAD back to the tag. I haven't done this with a huge changeset that
includes file deletions but I think its the proper CVS approach...
