how to revert an older revision

Asked by Lucius

I introduced a bug in revision 331. I am now on revision 400. How can I revert the changes I made in revision 331, but not revert subsequent changes?

I tried various commands like, some according to help, but nothing does what I want:

bzr revert -r 331 <-- reverts everything up to and including 331.
bzr revert -r 331..332 <-- revision takes exactly one revision identifier
bzr merge . -r 331..332 <-- no changes found

Thanks.

What I would do:

    bzr merge . -r 332..331

That would merge the reverse of your changes, thereby
effectively cancelling them.
