I don't know darcs. Does "svn up -r 3" do what you want? You can "svn
up -r 3" only the specific files or directories you want to back-date
without affecting the rest of the project. Just tell it which files.
"svn up -r 3 foo bar baz" Read about mixed-revision working copies:

If you did in fact want to make the changes such that you could
commit them, then Subversion does support a much more-intelligigent
solution than svn diff and a manual patch, namely svn merge. See
especially the section about undoing changes:
