describes two ways of rolling back an SVN directory after a wrongful commit. What is the difference between the two options
Revert changes from this revision Revert to this revision As a test, I added a file, rolling back using "Revert changes from this revision" and did the same process for the "Revert to this revision", and there is no difference with the state of the SVN log.
Am I missing something?

If you want to undo all changes you made in a file since the last update you need to select the file, right click to pop up the context menu and then select the command TortoiseSVN → Revert A dialog will pop up showing you the files that you've changed and can revert.
svn update brings changes from the repository into your working copy. If no revision is given, it brings your working copy up-to-date with the HEAD revision. Otherwise, it synchronizes the working copy to the revision given by the --revision option.
Let's say you have these N sucessive commits: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
If you select the commit 2 and choose "Revert to this revision", your working copy will contain the changes brought by commits 1 and 2. Commits 3 and 4 will be "canceled".
If you select the commit 2 and choose "Revert changes from this revision", your working copy will contain the changes brought by commits 1, 3 and 4. Commit 2 will be "canceled", or rather, played in reverse on the top of commit 4: if a line was added, it will be removed. If a line was removed, it will be readded.
