title: How to acquire specific revision of a newly added file from CVS via command line?
body: <p>One of our internally written tool is fed a cvs commit trace of the form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Checking in src/com/package/AFile.java;
      /home/cvs/src/com/package/AFile.java,v &lt;-- Afile.java
      new revision: 1.1.2.56; previous revision: 1.1.2.55
      done
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The tool then acquires the file from cvs by issuing a <code>cvs update -r 1.1.2.56</code> command in a working directory that already have specific branch of code checked-out. </p>
  
  <p>This commands work correctly if there is an existing version of <strong>AFile.java</strong> in working directory. But when we get a trace of a file that has no version in working directory the command is not able to acquire the file.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do it? </p>
