Is there a way to revert to a previous CVS revision,
so that the file then shows up in the Synchronize view
as an "incoming" change?
I can replace a file with a previous revision,
but then it shows up as an "outgoing" change.
Thanks.
Brian

Well, I played around a bit: If you edit the appropriate ./CVS/Entries file
and change the file's revision number to the desired number and then restart
Eclipse, "synchronizing" will give me the behavior I am looking for.
For example, change
/Foo.java/1.3/Wed May 14 20:22:24 2008//
to
/Foo.java/1.2/Wed May 14 20:22:24 2008//
and things seem OK. Of course, there might be some side-effect I'm not aware
of just yet....
Just for the record.

I suggest you ask on a CVS support forum about the validity and safety
of doing that. If there is no reason not to, I'd suggest entering a
feature request against Eclipse's CVS component to implement something
like that in the UI.

Brian,
By all means, enter a bug report. In the past, I used a utility plug-in
I wrote that provided this type of support for CVS (i.e. the action was
called Move to HEAD and would remove any tags from the local file copy
area). I don't think we would ever add this action to the CVS feature
but we could definitely make it available in the repository.

I tried doing a "Team -> Revert to Base" and it does *not* replace with HEAD.
I tried Revert to Base with version 1.34 on a file that was version 1.36 on the server. I modified the file locally then ran Revert to Base and it replaced the contents with the 1.34 version and took off the dirty flag (the ">" character) that says I'm out of sync with CVS.
So, revert to base did what what the original poster wanted to do and replaced the modified file with the version that he originally checked out.
To replace with head you have to use "Replace -> Replace with Head".
