The problem is that CVS revision numbers are per-file, while Subversion
revision numbers are per-commit.  A single Subversion commit that
affects twenty files will translate to twenty (file, revno) tuples that
must be rolled back individually, unless you can figure out a date (or
date range) that corresponds exactly to that commit and that commit
only.
