Mak,

use C-u M-x cvs-update
or C-u C-u M-x cvs-update,
both will ask for aditional parameters to the pcl-cvs command.
C-u C-u will automatically use them for the next plain pcl-cvs 
command, C-u won't.

BTW,
you might be better using tags rather than revision numbers.
Revision numbers are simply a count of how often the file
has been modified. Tags record the revision numbers of each file
at a given time; the revision numbers are normally totally different.
The CVS online manual will explain this in greater detail.


HTH,
