That depends--do you want to revert HEAD back to an older state, or do you
want to branch out where you leave HEAD alone but can commit code on the
side?  

Assuming you want the former, to revert to an older version of a file (for
example, "foo.c"), you can use this to revert the changes back to 1.18:

cvs up -j 1.19 -j 1.18 foo.c

There are other ways too, but that should work if I understood your
intentions.
