There's no tarball attached, at least not when reading your post via gmane. If the repo hasn't been published yet you probably want to rewrite history rather than introducing a revert commit. Revering is a bit complicated because the commit to be reverted contains: subproject commit (unregistering from sub in super) plus add commit (in super).
