It sounds like you didn't know svn, because what you describe is the most basic feature of any version control system - being able to revert to any of the previously submitted versions is basically the reason VCSs exist. In addition pretty much every svn GUI frontend should have provide a single click way to check out a local copy of a previous version that you can commit if you want. Svn has some warts (shelving feels sooo half baked despite having like 3 different ways for that) but at least reverting to an older state isn't one of them.
