As you've no doubt discovered by now, you can change the state of the
other files in tree back to the latest revision after that just with:

$ bzr revert

The branch still contains all the information, backup files are only
created when there are local changes not present in the current
revision.

As an aside, you'll generally get more patient responses from your
fellow mailing list participants if you adopt a softer tone when
asking for assistance.
