Delete a revision?

If I made a change to file which was at rev 1, checked it in so it becomes rev 2, and then realized I got the wrong file, can I delete rev 2 so the file is still rev 1?

You can't delete a revision, but you can use the rollback command in the history window to make a new version 3 which has the same contents as version 1.

Thanks. That is sufficient. Come to think of it, this is better. In PVCS you can just delete a revision, which is a bit like saying "this never happened -- forget about it". This way at least you record your mistakes
