I just tried this on a sandbox branch and it doesn't work that well. In 
particular, it fails if there are any uncommitted changes:

% mtn status
Current branch: foo.sandbox.branch
Changes against parent dcfbf59823cf21e292b60ba8f8463f65ea383597
  added    foo

% mtn db kill_rev_locally dcfbf59823cf21e292b60ba8f8463f65ea383597
mtn: misuse:
Cannot kill revision dcfbf59823cf21e292b60ba8f8463f65ea383597, because 
it would leave the current workspace in an invalid state, from which 
monotone cannot recover automatically since the workspace contains 
uncommitted changes. Consider updating your workspace to another 
revision first, before you try to kill this revision again.



This is not good. Suppose I have edited files Foo1, Foo2 and Bar. I run 
"mtn commit Foo1" because I forgot about Foo2. So I decide I want to 
undo that last commit so I can run "mtn commit Foo1 Foo2" which is what 
I wanted initially. Monotone won't let me do it because file Bar has 
changes.
