I think this will be easy because i can just reverse merge HEAD:nn
where nn is the last good revision (it was the same on all branches).

But if I did the original commits this way:

        cd /path/to/brancha_wc
        svn commit -m ...
        svn log --stop-on-copy ==> copy was at rev cc
        cd /path/to/branchb_wc
        svn update
        svn merge -r cc:HEAD /path/to/repos/brancha
        svn commit -m ...

then can I reverse it as simply as this, where nn is the last good rev:

        cd /path/to/brancha_wc
        svn merge -r HEAD:nn /path/to/repos/brancha
        svn commit -m ...
        cd /path/to/branchb_wc
        svn merge -r HEAD:nn /path/to/repos/branchb
        svn commit -m ...

This looks pretty easy, given that it is the last half dozen commits
that I want to reverse, i.e. not a subset just everything done since
rev x. Am I missing anything?

Thanks,
