Hmmm, with explicetely specifying root directory aka

merkaba:/etc> bzr uncommit
   94 Martin Steigerwald        2011-09-06
      Kleiner Test. Wieder hinzu.

The above revision(s) will be removed.
Uncommit these revisions? [y/n]: y
You can restore the old tip by running:
  bzr pull . -r revid:martin at lichtvoll.de-20110906130847-4yqb3z7jswu0ay7d
merkaba:/etc> bzr commit -m "Mit /resolv.conf gehts offenbar."
Committing to: /etc/                                                                                                                  
added .bzrignore
added resolv.conf
Committed revision 94.                                                                                                                
merkaba:/etc> bzr diff

this appears to work.
