Best method to overwrite someone's changes?

[Christopher.Fouts]

I found this e-mail (below) from Derek a while back. Can I use this
method
to revert a branch to a certain tag date? IOW,

   > cvs up -r branchA -j tag_yesterday_branchA -j branchA
   > cvs commit

Will this revert latest branchA's code to tag_yesterday_branchA's code?

I'm telling you:

    cvs up -rbranchA -jbranchA -jbranchB
    cvs commit

No conflicts.  No manual adding/removing.  It just works.
