Suppose you want to revert everything that happened between revision N and
HEAD (including changes made to N) of file foo.

-> svn co <directory containing foo> (checking out HEAD)
-> svn merge -rHEAD:N-1 foo
    -> hopefully there is no conflict.. if there is, resolve conflict
-> svn ci foo -m "reverting changes from rev N through M for foo"
