On that specific task CVS sucks.. you can easily do it on HEAD, but not
in a branch it seems. CVS either works on tags or on dates, not both..

If you know the file you have touched you can locate the relevant
version number by running

cvs log -r<your_branch_name> filename

and then back them out by using

cvs update -j<newest_version_to_delete>
-j<version_you_want_to_go_back_to> filename
