You need to read up on svn merge. Please see the book, there's even an
example of this in the vendor drop section.

To revert the copy, simply reverse merge the changes of the revision in
which the copy was made.

Let X be the revision number of the copy (CWD must be
/home/myuser/software/acme):
svn merge --revision X:X-1 file:///home/myuser/svn/acme/trunk

Hope that helps !
