Better yet -- A script that runs just before commit that increments an 
internal revision number (not necessarily matching the CVS revision). 
Extract that info after the commit with the CVS version number (and 
maybe a MD5 sum too for good order) and store it and you have a 
cross-reference that you can use to look it up later.

That assumes that Oracle Forms developer supports some sort of API where 
you can automate the incrementing of those numbers.
