I think those -j flags are backwards for a revert. The manual says:
-jREVISION
With two -j options, merge changes from the revision specified
with the first -j option to the revision specified with the
second -j option, into the working directory.
In the example above, 1.3.2.15 already contains all changes from
1.3.2.14, so that's a no-op.
If, instead, one does
cvs update -j 1.3.2.15 -j 1.3.2.14 search.pl
cvs commit -m 'revert' search.pl
then the changes are in 1.3.2.15 are reverted and 1.3.2.14 recommitted.

Yes (git!), but not for this reason.
Hope that helps,
