I think a bit of explanation is in order.

The idea is that you can svn delete the top of the current tree, then copy
revision 36 to replace it, preserving the file history. Subversion lets
you do this.

If you're talking about removing revisions entirely, that's another
problem. With what's being suggested here, revisions 37-41 will still
exist in the repository, but they will be hidden and you'll never see them
again except if you were to export some revision in that range.
