Right now, the only way to do something like this is to modify the
repository db directly. Check out the Subversion docs for
svnadmin dump
svnadmin load
and
svndumpfilter

The command
svn obliterate
is filed in the Subversion issue tracker for some time now, but the devs
haven't been able to find a solution which would really work, i.e. one
that doesn't break log, merge and other commands. But once they know how
to do it, they'll implement that command.

A simple web search would have been enough. Just don't search for
"revert" but for "obliterate", "remove permanently" or "purge".
