If you don't care about throwing away your local changes, something along
the lines of the following should work:

   bzr push -r<REV> <foo>
   (cd <foo>; bzr checkout)
   rm -r .bzr/checkout
   mv <foo>/.bzr/checkout .bzr/
   rm -r <foo>
   bzr revert

If you want your local changes to be somehow preserved, you'll have to
work harder.  You can then go back to the "HEAD" revision with "bzr
update".

PS: <foo> should preferably be located inside the same
shared-repository, so that the `push' is cheaper.
PPS: the above probably fails to remove the files that were added since <rev>.
