Undoing a commit in Tortoisesvn

I did a search it said to view the log, right click the revision I want to go back to and select revert to this revision but I always get this error:

Cannot reverse-merge a range from a path's own future history; try updating first

Note that you cannot undo a commit in the sense of completely removing it from the repository.

What you can do is to get the state before the commit, and check that in as the current state. This is probably what you found in your search, and what Ben Lings's answer refers to.

Other than that, Ben Lings is correct. Update your working copy, then retrieve the old version (that is the "revers-merge" part), then commit that.

Have you tried doing an update (on your checked out copy) first?

You need to Update your working copy first. You will then be able to revert the revision.
