you can also use strip command <http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Strip>.. i
think you need to enable mq
extension<http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MqExtension#Configuration>
first
as it is provided by mq<http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MqExtension#Strip>
..

make sure you make a backup (bundle/clone/etc..) if you think you might want
to restore the undone commit.. see the reason
here<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.mercurial.general/14584>
..
