There is no way to destroy revisions in Subversion. The whole point of a
version control system is that it never loses anything. If you *really*
want to get rid of those revs, the SVN book describes how to do it using
svnadmin dump and load. But is it worth it? You will have to throw away
your working copy after that and checkout a fresh one. Most of us have
repositories with a heap of past mistakes in. Sounds like the only thing
really hurting here is your pride ;-)
