Thanks for this, I really need to learn to use Emacs built in bzr
support.

Alternatively you can always type:

bzr revert

to get all of your changes undone.  Or:

bzr revert foo

to revert just "foo"

"bzr help revert" is quite helpful.  What's more it covers how to use
merge to remove changes made by a certain revision.  I had no idea how
that worked.
