CVS just doesn't allow for import mistakes.  Personally, if this
happened to me (in my own repository) I'd go muck around in the
repository, using "cvs admin -o" on each file individually (or
"rcs -o" if "cvs admin" wasn't being flexible enough).

(That's just a way that works, probably not the right way.)

(However, I can't think of a way to do it without repository hacking,
unless you play with the CVS/Entries file in a checked out version
which seems to me to be more dangerous than repository hacking)
