This is the correct way to do it. Subversion tries to merge the
differences between the two versions to convert the WC copy back to the
earlier revision. But as the file is binary, the automatic merge fails
and you get a conflict. What you have to do next is open the 'check for
modifications' or 'commit' dialog, right click on the file and select
'resolve using theirs', which overwrites the content with the older version.

It would be nice if that could appear in the main context menu for
conflicted files, but maybe that has to wait until sub-menus get
implemented.
