I added a section
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Subversion#Undoing_changes
with some tips how to efficiently use "svn merge" to undo changes, especially how to undo a specific changeset.
In addition, a hint was added how the
"svn merge ... --dry-run"
option can avoid headaches before doing something wrong.
I'm mailing you this so that everyone has a chance to improve or correct the page - if this is needed.

It is a good tip.
Another one, is to use 'colordiff' before commit. It reformat the diff output with line coloring. The utility should be available in most GNU/Linux distribution.
URL: http://colordiff.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
In your ~/.subversion/config :
[helpers] diff-cmd = colordiff
Pipe it with 'less -R' to have the output paginated with colors :-) Ex: svn diff | less -R
