Excerpt of `info cvs' command:
admin options
-------------
[...]
`-oRANGE'
Deletes ("outdates") the revisions given by RANGE.
Note that this command can be quite dangerous unless you know
_exactly_ what you are doing (for example see the warnings below
about how the REV1:REV2 syntax is confusing).
If you are short on disc this option might help you. But think
twice before using it--there is no way short of restoring the
latest backup to undo this command! If you delete different
revisions than you planned, either due to carelessness or (heaven
forbid) a CVS bug, there is no opportunity to correct the error
before the revisions are deleted. It probably would be a good
idea to experiment on a copy of the repository first.
