Just put whatever contents you want into the file and commit it.
Practically for this one I would probably do

cvs di -r1.{3,2} patches/patch-src_gui_c | patch

or leave it as-is, I don't think there's any problem is there?

(cvs up -r will set a sticky revision-based tag for the file - not sure
how that works with commits as I've never tried it - but you don't want
to do anything too clever with cvs generally)
