You can't[1] throw away 227 and make a new 227. 227 is part of the
repository's permanent history, as is every other committed revision.
You can just commit a new 228 (or whatever the current HEAD+1
revision is) which undoes the changes of 227. This is explained in
the book:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/
svn.branchmerge.commonuses.html#svn.branchmerge.commonuses.undo

[1] Ok, so you can delete a revision, but it's an admin task, and
it's not the proper way to use Subversion on a day-to-day basis so
I'm not going to discuss it here.
