ref'ed commit?
Grab the diff and revert if by hand after CVSup? May require some
manual merging, but it will require merge in any case if later
commits go to the top of the changes you want to revert.
I am using a local repo


Then use CVS to check out the exact rev of those files that you want. That'll make the rev be sticky in your tree, so it won't change the next time you update. Note that I would consider it rather rude and condescending to instruct a senior developer like Jason on how to do backouts instead of giving him help in identifying and maybe fixing the
problems.

and to check out the head MINUS a change use cvs update -j

e.g. to remove the change that was used to make 1.4 but leave the changes that
went into 1.5 and later you can do

cvs up -A x.c # check out the latest.
cvs up -j1.4 -j1.3 x.c #back out the change that differentiated 1.4 from 1.3
