I have the impression that you've corrected it already now. But please contact 
Neo and ask him about it, so he can watch out it doesn't happen again. You can 
also immediately ask him to upload his gps tracks.

There's a script available here that should be able to revert changesets: 
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/utils/revert

Of course, it would also delete all the new roads in that changeset, but in 
case we get some vandalism or some serious mistake by a mapper which is too 
big to fix manually, it's good to have something.
