This is exactly an issue I ran into. I made what I thought was a change
in to a source file, committed the change, then at some point realized
that I didn't need the change after all. I tried to figure out how to
revert that one file back to the original state until I realized I
couldn't do it. I ended up modifying the source file back to the
original version (added a comment in my history header saying, "undoing
those changes") and committing again.
After thinking about it, I realized that if I'd made changes to this
file other than the ones I wanted to undo, then a simple "revert to
older revision" wouldn't work anyways.
