See the -o option to cvs admin:

        <http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.6/cvs_16.html#SEC119>

But don't use it.  To revert to a previous revision, use merge to remove
the undesired changes as shown in:

        <http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.6/cvs_5.html#SEC62>

And then commit the file.
