If the code was screwed up, it's possible to make a rollback. Moreover, it's
possible to roll back not only the last change, but any arbitrary change (or
span of changes) in the past.

Suppose, you're at revision 1.111, and figure out there was a problem with
the change between 1.12 and 1.13. This is what you do then:

cvs update -j 1.13 -j 1.12 FileName

And the file in the working directory will contain the current file, less
changes from 1.12 to 1.13.

Of course, this is a simplification - there may be conflicts (as in 'CVS
conflicts'), but this is the big picture.

"Duck" is the action you're supposed to execute when something heavy is
flying your way ;)
