If I change a file in my working copy of the cvs tree, is there a way to
discard my changes and re-sync with the main tree, short of removing the
files I have changed, or making a diff and patching with -R?

I have written a script to do an 'cvs -q -n update pgsql', get the file
names beginning with 'M', remove those files, and then do a normal
update.

Seems very strange, but it works. Still looking for a better way.

That's better than the "cannonical" method: cvs co pgsql
