The safe way, if aesthetically lacking, it to re-commit a copy of 1.14
on top of 1.15.  Assuming the file has no uncommitted changes since
1.15,

    $ cvs update -j1.15 -j1.14 file
    $ cvs commit        : creates 1.16, identical to 1.14 .

I think this works:

    $ cvs update -r1.14 file
    $ cvs admin -o1.15 file
    $ cvs update -A file

Warning: the cvs admin is irreversible.
