http://www.intellij.net/tracker/idea/viewSCR?publicId=39918 Currently it is only possible to checkout a specific revision by creating a new CVS configuration. That's usefull to checkout several CVS modules using the same revision. But IMHO this is a rare case. Normally I do want to checkout a specific revision from a SINGLE module. Having to first create a different CVS configuration for this is a PITA. I would prefer to always use the same CVS configuration, but to have some option to specify the revision after selecting the CVS module.
