Side note: that late merge, and its revert is pretty ugly.
It seems to be a pattern that the networking tree has, which is not a great sign (merging much too eargerly into the wrong branches).
Doing a
git log --grep='Revert "Merge '
does seem to show that this is a networking pattern. Nasty.
But I hope it also means that you know how to deal with the fallout.
In particular, reverting a merge means that re-doing that merge later will just be a no-op: the original commits are already merged. You'll need to revert the revert to get the changes back (or you just need to re-do the whole thing).
