I'd like that.  I think there is a bug for this (under a different
name) but it's pretty hard to search for it.

I think I would expect land to do more than just a reverse merge:
perhaps merge the changes, abort if there are conflicts, otherwise
commit them.  You could do that into a remote branch with just a
temporary wt created locally or in memory.
