+=== Reverting submitted changes ===
+
+While 'svn revert' is used to revert local, unsubmitted changes, the procedure differs for code already in the SVN repository. Example:
+{{{
+find lib/external -type f -name '*.[ch]' | \
+while read file ; do
+      svn merge -c -32526 $file
+done
+svn ci -m"Reverted to previous version (r32526)... reason ..." lib/external
+}}}
+Here, 32526 is the revision corresponding to the indenting of the trunk. Passing a negative revision to "svn merge -c" will "unmerge" that change.
