Ah, in that case we now agree on the right way to do things :)
With the explanation as to where the (spurious) conflict is coming from
on the initial merge to the maintenance branch, I'm now happy that the
only time the revert + regenerate metadata should ever be needed is if
someone else checks in a backport between the time when I start a
backport and when I go to check it in (which is pretty unlikely in
practice).
Cheers,
Nick.
