Yes, it is correct right?

Why not recording the reverse merges?
What about the following usecase?
Release_1 copied to Release_2
 From Releases_2's Wc someone trying to cut off some
featureset(associated with a changeset 'ry:x' in Release_1) of Release_1
by 'merge -rx:y Release_1' where 'x>y'.
If this revert is not recorded, later readding(forward merges) same
reverted subset for featureset of Release_1 to Release_2, would be
recorded, which would look bit odd, given the fact that both 'Release_1'
and 'Release_2' share the history.

P.S Incase we record reverse merges we need to be careful about -r5:4
case, this revert gets recorded as '5', then there would be a confusion
whether it is 4-5 or 5-4.
