There are not very many things that Subversion allows you to do
directly in the repository. To undo a change, you need to do a
reverse merge. Easiest thing is to right-click on Project in
workspace and do Show History optiion. Select the revision or range
of revisions you want to undo. Right-click and take the option to
revert the changes in those revisions. This will run a reverse merge.
 Resolve any conflicts produced by the merge, verify and commit.

Sort of. The data is cached, so unless you refresh it can become out
of date. But whenever the data is being fetched, it is fetching HEAD.
