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.

Greetings,
Jan.
