How to replace wrong code (committed by mistake) into the repository

Question

I am newbie with svn and I stuck after a mistake.

I have two systems:

a) system 1 - working copy with the right code

b) system 2 - working copy with wrong code, committed to the repository by mistake

I would like re-commit the right code from system 1 but I can't. If I change a file and I try to commit it I get the message:

file xyx is out of date

Obviously I can't update the system 1 working copy otherwise I loose the right code.

How can I exit from this deadlock ?

Thank you

Fab.
