 Conceptually, @command{disapprove}s contract is that disapprove(A) gives a
 revision B such that whenever B is merged with a descendant D of A the merge
 will result in what D ``would have looked like'' if A had never happened.
 
 Note that as a consequence of this contract the @command{disapprove} command
-only works if @var{id} has exactly one ancestor, since it hasn't been
