I'm not a git expert so maybe others have a better way to do this.

I would just identify the commit you want to revert (the fact that all 
the recent commit messages are "commit" won't necessarily help), then 
revert it with:

   git revert <commit>

If you need to revert more than 1 commit, revert them in reverse 
chronological order.

This is just standard git stuff.

The only part that is specific to Bioconductor is that you need to 
finish the sequence with an additional commit that bumps the version to 
1.35.2.

Hope this helps,

H.
