You would create some irritating problems for those. They need to notice
the problem (usually the next time the pull), figure out what is it, and
solve it. Possibly with bzr revert, or deleting `trunk' and cloning
again from upstream. Maybe the shared repository will save downloading
almost all of the revisions.

You can't uncommit. The bzr repo at Savannah has a rule that forbids
that.
