If you're checking the sources out as many users do, in checkout mode with the delete keyword, and you find that you need to revert a change locally, you've either got to make the changes by hand or perform at least one more checkout with -i and a date tag to revert the files affected by the change. Then you've got to protect your reversion during future updates. In my opinion, this is inconvenient, and if you can afford the extra disk space, you're probably better off using the VCS as it was meant to be used, by either using csup(1) in CVS mode, and using cvs(1) to manage your sources, or by using subversion. I think the latter is easier. b.
