How about this ...

We know that r60 is the reflection of r51.
So, to merge fb to trunk, we have to take the diffs trunk@SOURCE:fb@59 (all
earlier changes), the reverse of trunk@51, and then fb@59:fb@HEAD ...

Like I said, it reminds me of symbolic arithmetic ... If you have the
(unknown) change somewhere, you ("just" :-) have to find a way to eliminate
it (or the possibly-double parts).

Does that work? Does that help? Don't know; there might be some pitfalls in
there.
