No, you don't need to individually unmerge each revision. Update your
working copy of the trunk to the latest and then just execute this command
in that directory:
svn merge -rHEAD:163 <trunk-repository-url>
This will reverse merge all the revision and get you back to where you were
at revision 162. Just verify (using svn diff and such) that the merge did
indeed merge back all the changes from 163 to 195 (or HEAD) and commit the
changes.
I prefer this method to getting a copy of the trunk at revision 162 and then
overlaying the working copy with it.
