Well, after all the usual caveats about changing history being Bad and
that you shouldn't do it, I have a script called 'tla-uncommit' which
does exactly this.  It only works if you have a local archive, and you
can't safely uncommit once the archive has been mirrored anywhere or
anyone else might have seen a copy of the revision that you want to
obliterate.  It's probably buggy and if it destroys your archive and
kills your cat, such is life.

Script is attached.
