Instead of mucking with the 'state' of a file, you should
just tag it.
When a file is "reviewed," tag it as such:
cvs tag reviewed my_file.c
Now some other user can
cvs update -rreviewed my_file.c
and they will get the 'reviewed' version of the file.
And, if you're going to have many versions of the file,
you can be more specific about the tags:
cvs tag reviewed_10_10_2000 my_file.c
versus
cvs tag reviewed_10_11_2000 my_file.c
etc.etc.etc.
Read up on tags, and think about them. They're very useful.
