Um, that's what I said...

It depends on what you mean by `record' -- the original (reversed) patch is
still in the archive logs, but it's gone from the patch-logs in the project
tree, because replay --reverse removes it; there's a _new_ patch-log
recording the reversal, but that's not generally usefu, because tools don't
seem to look at that info, they just consider the absence or presence of
patch-logs.
