Another way I found in the docs is to use the "-p" option of update which sends
output to stdout, put that into the file and commit it again. 
Quote from the docs:
For example, suppose you have a file named `file1' which existed as revision 1.1, and \
you then removed it (thus adding a dead revision 1.2). Now suppose you want to add it \
again, with the same contents it had previously. Here is how to do it:

$ cvs update -p -r 1.1 file1 >file1
===================================================================
Checking out file1
RCS:  /tmp/cvs-sanity/cvsroot/first-dir/Attic/file1,v
VERS: 1.1
***************
$ cvs add file1
cvs add: re-adding file file1 (in place of dead revision 1.2)
cvs add: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently
$ cvs commit -m test
Checking in file1;
/tmp/cvs-sanity/cvsroot/first-dir/file1,v  <--  file1
new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2
done
$
