undo

I have a file in a project that is in a bitkeeper repository. I checked in a file but I haven't committed the change to create a changeset. How can I undo the checkin?

If I had a changeset I could undo the commit with:

bk undo -r<rev>

But in this case I can't commit and undo the changeset because I have other checked-in files that I don't want to touch.
