Good question, I'm not sure really.
Try (in a local working copy, no need to commit, but you can verify
the results):
cd $working-copy-of-featurebranch
svn propget svn:mergeinfo .
# Take note of what the mergeinfo looks like ... the revision that
you want to unblock should be listed there (either individually, or as
part of some range).
Now:
svn merge --record-only -c-$REV $SOURCE .
svn propget svn:mergeinfo .
# Take note of what the mergeinfo looks like ... the revision that
you want to "unblock" should no longer be present in the mergeinfo.
Note in the merge step above: '-c-$REV' means a negative revision
number (minus the revision), which means that you want to
(record-only) merge the reverse of $REV.
Can you report back the results to the list? I'm curious whether this works.
