Really? As far as I can tell, if the working copy is at a mixed
revision there is no single merge command that will do this. The
merge command takes two fixed revision numbers. To rollback a mixed
revision working copy, one of the revision numbers has to be set on a
per item basis.

This won't work in general if the working copy is a mixed revision.
