CVS tree for boot-floppies

["James R. Van Zandt" <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>]

1) It seems I can no longer access the CVS tree:

  $ cvs update
  Sorry, you don't have read/write access to the history file /debian/home/sr1/lib/cvs/CVSROOT/history
  Permission denied
  
I thought this was working.  Did something change?


2) I need a CVS command that would "discard local changes to file foo
and update the local copy to match the file in the repository", but I
did not see anything like that in the manual.  What's the best way to
do this?
