I don't think that's really necessary.  The "Merging adds and removals" section 
comes after three
sections which explain branching and merging pretty explicitly, including 
specifying that '-j
BRANCH' or "two '-j REVISON' flags" are necessary.  These are all subnodes (or 
subsections in HTML
& PS) of the "Branching & merging" section.  On a consecutive reading I think 
the extra note would
sound pretty redundant.

Feel free to argue if you like, of course.

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected become the expected?
