I am still working on 2897, now I could see a light at the end of the tunnel for this problem.
Last week we did not have this much of a clarity and hence
we thought probably 2897 may slip 1.5(Which I don't think now).
So Mark proposed to extract this schema change alone and record in a separate branch as the information about merges on a commit would be too difficult to populate in the future.

I am ok with either merging 'record_exact_merge_and_commit_revs' to trunk now or as a whole issue-2897 to trunk once done with it.
