And that's why we're advising that you read the documentation
provided. You have been provided with excellent help already, you have
just not bothered to read it - or to read it carefully enough to truly
internalize & understand it.
If you haven't read the TSVN and/or SVN manuals yet, stop everything
and do not continue until you have read them. They are some of the
best documentation that exists for open source projects I've seen.
Once you've read the manuals, the terminology will make sense. Do not
expect to be spoon-fed - we can't spend all day explaining the basic
concepts when they're already well-documented. "I'm new" is not an
excuse for not reading well-written documentation & mailing list
responses.

"That revision" refers to the revision which you want to roll back to.
To back out changes made to the repository, you need to start with a
WC which has been updated to HEAD.

I think this is rooted in the fact that you started from the wrong
revision in your WC.
