You're fried! ;-)

You can save the file changes minus the file you want to obliterate of 
the changeset, eliminate the changeset using MQ, and then apply by patch 
the differences saved earlier.

The real problem here is that you have to be careful when ever you 
pull/push. Even better, first double check with incoming and outgoing.
