Is there a way to revert to a previous CVS revision,
so that the file then shows up in the Synchronize view
as an "incoming" change?
I can replace a file with a previous revision,
but then it shows up as an "outgoing" change.
Thanks.

I guess that depends on your definition of "a previous CVS revision".
If you checked out a project and modified a file locally <b><i>and</i></b> the file has no other changes committed, you can perform a <b>Team - Revert to base</b>, or something similar. You would then be replacing your sandbox version with the latest <b>head</b> version.
But, if you want to replace with a version other than the <b>head</b> version, then your local sandbox version does not match the <b>head</b> version, and would require a commit to commit differences between your sandbox version and the head version.

Maybe my description wasn't very clear.
I have file Foo.java. It has several revisions on the CVS repository
(1.1, 1.2, 1.3). When I "synchronize" my workspace with the repository,
Eclipse indicates that my workspace is in synch with HEAD (i.e. the
Foo.java revision in my workspace is 1.3). I would like to "check out"
revision 1.2 and have subsequent "synchronizations" with the repository
to tell me that there is an "incoming" change available for Foo.java (that
incoming change being revision 1.3).
I can see how I get the contents of Foo.java revision 1.2: Team ->
Show History -> Get Contents. But then "synchronize" indicates I have
an "outgoing" change. I would like my client (i.e. Eclipse) to know
the current revision in my workspace is 1.2 and that "synchronize"
should tell me I now have an "incoming" change.
Is there any way to do that?
Thanks.

Using your scenario, Eclipse does not really "checkout" the older version. It simply replaces the contents of your file with that of the older revision. It then appears your local copy of the file is different than the head version and wants you to commit your changes.
I don't know exactly what you are trying to accomplish, or if it is possible using Eclipse's internal CVS client.

No, there's not. I'm not even sure that is possible or easy using
command-line CVS. You can get any revision as "sticky" but that is
different, in that it will not show an incoming change when you
synchronize (it is "sticky" in that the file is stuck at the revision
you have).

I guess I thought that, since Eclipse can tell which revision I checked
out originally (I think the revision number is in the ./CVS/Entries file),
Eclipse could simply alter that setting and now think that I had checked
out another revision (1.2, in the example below). Oh well....
Thanks.

Well, I played around a bit: If you edit the appropriate ./CVS/Entries file
and change the file's revision number to the desired number and then restart
Eclipse, "synchronizing" will give me the behavior I am looking for.
For example, change
/Foo.java/1.3/Wed May 14 20:22:24 2008//
to
/Foo.java/1.2/Wed May 14 20:22:24 2008//
and things seem OK. Of course, there might be some side-effect I'm not aware
of just yet....
Just for the record.

I suggest you ask on a CVS support forum about the validity and safety
of doing that. If there is no reason not to, I'd suggest entering a
feature request against Eclipse's CVS component to implement something
like that in the UI.

Brian,
By all means, enter a bug report. In the past, I used a utility plug-in
I wrote that provided this type of support for CVS (i.e. the action was
called Move to HEAD and would remove any tags from the local file copy
area). I don't think we would ever add this action to the CVS feature
but we could definitely make it available in the repository.

I tried doing a "Team -> Revert to Base" and it does *not* replace with HEAD.
I tried Revert to Base with version 1.34 on a file that was version 1.36 on the server. I modified the file locally then ran Revert to Base and it replaced the contents with the 1.34 version and took off the dirty flag (the ">" character) that says I'm out of sync with CVS.
So, revert to base did what what the original poster wanted to do and replaced the modified file with the version that he originally checked out.
To replace with head you have to use "Replace -> Replace with Head".
