Yes, you can use admin -o, but why would you want to?  Old revisions are
usually valuable history.  Since CVS stores diffs starting with the most
recent revision, old revisions don't take up much space and don't have
much impact on performance.  Some of the CVS source files have
*thousands* of revisions.

Hmm... Last week I had such a situation... Someone had checked in a binary file (M$$ Word-file) with a virus in it. In such a case it is nice to remove that revision.

Regards,
Kim
