No it isn't.  B2 is simply the changes required to go from B1 to the merged 
B1+A3.  Similarly B3 does not contain B2.

It does not contain B1.  No revision ever contains a copy of its ancestors - 
that would be a nightmare to manage (and very large).

You declare it to be equivalent to A3 in the mergepoint, but if you just take 
that in the other direction you get a merge that does not contain B1.
