This is really trivial to do.  At the root of your Boost CVS tree you
do:

  cvs up -D2003/12/1

for example, to get the source state on 2003/12/1.

For the particular test you're interested in, it's almost certainly
sufficient to do it in the boost/type_traits/ subdirectory, or at
least in boost/.  That will speed updates.

But the "massive change", as you call it, was made in at least 5 steps
in that file alone, and might really be caused by other files.
