Yes, as Wurzel said in another thread, to go back to how all the files 
were at revision 156, it's

	hg update -r 156

As simple as that. If then you make changes and commit them, there will 
be two children to revision 156: rev. 157 which you already have, and a 
new revision, maybe rev. 162, i.e., one more than the highest rev# 
already existing. So if you decide that those changes you undid weren't 
all as bad as that, you can go back to any of them too.


Best regards,
Tony.
