Reversing 'cvs remove'

[Jake Colman]

I deleted a file and did a 'cvs remove file' but did not yet commit.

I want to undo what I have done.

I restored the delete file but what I do for cvs? A 'cvs add file' tell
me that

cvs add: header.html should be removed and is still there (or is back
again)

Thanks.

...Jake

You're on the right path, you're just trying too hard: you shouldn't
have restored the deleted file. Just delete the local file again and
then do the `cvs add' and CVS will restore it from the repository.

Yup, that did it! Thanks.
