Rn   o
     | \
Rn-1 o  |
     |  o Mn
     |  o Mn-1
Rn-2 o /
Rn-3 o

rev-tree shows you 

Rn
Rn-1
Mn
Mn-1
Rn-2
Rn-3

Which is wrong. 

After syncing M to Rn you see the same thing in M

Rn
Rn-1
Mn
Mn-1
Rn-2
Rn-3

which is also wrong. 

The correct display looking at R is

Rn
 Mn
 Mn-1
Rn-1
Rn-2
Rn-3

Looking from M it is

Rn
 Rn-1
 Rn-2
Mn
Mn-2
Rn-3
