I btw wondered why _reverting_ a root commit should not work.
Then I tried to quickly add this feature and saw what's the point:
merge-recursive wants a remote -- this

+	argv[i++] = next_sha1;

to be set :)
So the change is not as trivial as I thought.
And yes, there may even be no use case for reverting root commits.
