I'm not sure about "quick"...

Some possible approaches:

1. Rename the destination repository, create a new one, re-sync from
   scratch.

2. Restore from a backup of the destination directory, one that
   doesn't include the bad rev, and re-sync to that.

3. Use svndump to dump up to but not including the bad rev, svnload
   that into a new repository, that's your "repaired" repository.
