I've been given a tar.gz file which is supposed to be a snapshot of a dead project. The project used to be stored in a CVS repository. The problem is that I don't get actual snapshots of the files. Instead, each directory has a subdirectory called "Attic" and a bunch of "f,v" files, where "f" seems to be the name of the original file. The "f,v" files look like a list of changes made to the original files over time.
Since the project is dead and the CVS server doesn't exist anymore, I have to find a way to restore the original files from these "f,v" files. Does anyone know if it's possible to restore a snapshot of the repository from these given files?

Dude, that is the repository
So you totally win, you have the repository itself.
Unpack it, and check out the
HEAD
