First, simply update to the good rev. and proceed from there (committing 
etc.), this will create a new branch.

You may later close or even remove the dead branch.  Closing is done using
"hg commit --close-branch", but AFAIK this new idea is not fully integrated 
(yet?).  I mean, even hg itself does not ignore such closed branches in "hg 
heads" for example.
