However, it did set me on the path of something that did work.

I replaced my local file with the latest from cvs head, and then
replaced it with Previous from Local History. By doing this, it
assigned a newer cvs version to my local file and I can compare to
cvs, commit, etc.

Kay, you showed some of the highest skills of the effective programmer just there. You got an answer that was not the right answer. It didn't work. But the principle behind the answer, it turns out, was applicable. Rather than giving up because the recipe failed, you went deep, understood the principle and found another place where it applied, this time usefully.

There is much potential in this one, Sifu.
