I know that you can remove the last revision on a branch of a file, so you
could remove the last revision of the files you commited. But I don't rememeber
how to do this.
Here is another solution: you restore the previous revision for each file you
commited, in a separate directory (that is you do cvs co cameleon in /tmp
for example, then you use cvs up -r 1.x Makefile to restore the previous 
revision of Makefile), then copy each restored file to the first cameleon
directory. At last, you commit. Of course, before, you have copied the 
findlib files somewhere to use them for a commit in the findlib branch.
Why not do cvs up -r 1.x <file> in your current cameleon directory, you
will ask ? Because then you cannot commit them, since they are marked as
old revisions, or something like that. So you must use another cameleon
directory (the one in /tmp). I think this is the simplest solution.
 
If someone knowns a better solution, I'd be happy to learn some more about
CVS...

What ? it's not yet automatic ??? :-) 

Thanks Sylvain,
