[Python-Dev] Buildbots have trouble checking out the repository due to recent changes.

If the changes where in a single revision N, do

svn merge -rN:N-1 .
svn commit -m "revert rN"

If they span over several subsequent revisions, use N-k
instead. If they span over several revisions with intermediate
revisions that you don't want to revert, try multiple merge
commands before a single commit; if that fails, revert and commit
each range of changes separately.

P.S. If you want to get the buildbots back in shape (in case they
aren't), build a non-existing branch through the UI
(which will cause a recursive removal of the entire checkout), then
either wait for the next regular commit, or force a build of the
respective branch (branches/py3k or trunk). On Windows, if there
is still a python.exe process holding onto its binary, that fails,
and we need support from the slave admin.
