As Karl said, book feedback should be sent to the book list. But to
answer your questions, there are already parts in the book that
explain how to undo changes. Just search the book index for "undo"
and you will see that to undo changes that have not yet been
committed, you use "svn revert":
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/
svn.tour.cycle.html#svn.tour.cycle.revert
And to undo changes which have already been committed, you use "svn
merge":
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/
svn.branchmerge.commonuses.html#svn.branchmerge.commonuses.undo
