You mean this?
$ tla commit -s 'Reverse botched commit; next one has standalone bugfix'.
I don't think that a reversal is necessarily broken by definition. In
any event, you should be able to tag around it, so that folks checking
out the latest version of your archive never pull the broken revisions,
even though they're never deleted. (This functionality is unbroken,
right?)

That, or you can go follow the instructions on the wiki to manually
tweak your archive (and do it very carefully). Unless, say, you're
mirrored at somewhere, or someone else has or mamy have cheecked out or
branched from your new revision, in which case that would be bad (in the
Ghostbusters sense).
