CVSNT (yes it runs on linux and is 'free') has native support for UTF16
files, if using such files then using a server with native support is
probably more sensible.

No what would have been easy was to do cvs up -j 1.25 -j 1.22 (check
syntax) to 'merge' revision 1.22 to head (making revision 1.22 current).
Again if you are using CVSNT this will also create a mergepoint so you
can 'see' what happened. Since this does not require admin priv it is
obviously much 'easier' than an admin command. A good rule of thumb is
'if you are about to use any cvs admin command then ask if there is a
better way of achieving the same result without the admin command
because there is one'.

I'd personally not call 50M large, over 500M files I'd consider large.
