undoing changes goes like this:

- *committed* WC at location URL_OF_WC @ REV (with wrong changes)
- update WC
- merge
  From: URL_OF_WC @ REV
  to URL_OF_WC @ REV - 1

Right?

But as the feature branch@HEAD contains the changes local to it *PLUS* the
changes on trunk since the branch was made,

  From: TRUNK @ HEAD <-
  To : FEATURE_BRANCH @ HEAD <- Note same revision

is only the feature.
