If you're on the trunk, "cvs update -rHEAD file" should do it
(awful kludge, but if it works...).

If you're on a branch, I don't know of a way; as you suggested,
"cvs update -r<rev> file" gets you half-way there, but you have
to remember to update it manually.

It must be said that they would have sounded better if the singer
wouldn't throw his fellow band members to the ground and toss the
drum kit around during songs.
