Quick help with CVS?

It would normally be cvs update -A filename, but the postgresql.org CVS
server doesn't support this. So I suggest 'rm && cvs update'.

If you don't care about yor modifications, you can just rm the file then
"cvs update -Pd" to re-add it from the repository.

There are other ways too. See the CVS red book (available online).
