hg equivalant of git revert

I have a commit on a public repository. I would like this commit to not be there (I've moved that work off to a branch), I obviously don't开发者_如何学编程 want to destroy the branch history, basically just do an inverse of that commit. In git this is just git revert, but I'm not using git :)

hg backout

hg backout [OPTION]... [-r] REV

reverse effect of earlier changeset

Commit the backed out changes as a new changeset. The new
changeset is a child of the backed out changeset.

If you backout a changeset other than the tip, a new head is
created. This head will be the new tip and you should merge this
backout changeset with another head.
