How to un-commit and fall back to a previous version
I am not talking about simply "revert" because a revert is when you
haven't committed your changes.
If somebody commits a change, and later wishes to take it back, what can
they do?
One ugly option is ... Suppose I want to un-commit version 3, and
everybody should use version 2. Then I'll update my working copy to
version 2, and commit it again to create version 4. But I'm just
guessing there's something cleaner and more elegant to do here, right?
Thanks...

hi,
have a look at the subversion book on "undoing changes" here:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch04s04.html
.. you can undo a changeset by merging in reverse order and then
commiting again.
in case you've got tortoisesvn, it has a menu entry for that.. just open
the log of some dir and choose the "revert changes from this revision" item.
hth, max

That's what you will have to do. Unlike CVS, Subversion does not have
any admin command to get
rid of committed versions.

If you check out version 2 you won't be able to commit it as version 4,

I have a more detailed explanation of the same answer in a blog post:

If you check out version 2 you won't be able to commit it as version 4,
because a clean checkout has no modifications and therefore no reason to
be checked in. What you need to do is undo just the changes between
version 2 and version 3 and then commit that as version 4:
svn merge -r 3:2 <url> <working copy path>
That will undo the changes between version 3 and 2, all you need to do
after that is commit it.
