Isn't that overly pessimistic? Can't we have git create a merge commit that can be reverted with git revert?
For our ooo-build use case, I'm hoping to use [top]git as "a better patch" and hope to have mostly orthogonal topic branches. With patch, to "undo a merge" usually means patch -R and remove the patch from the dependency list. I can hardly imagine something easily possible with patch is still impossible with git.
