Yes, the accurate statement is (I think): "In a Mercurial repo local
revision numbers are strictly ordered according _the time when the_
_commit entered the repository_" (i.e. the time you did a merge, not
the time the other guy did the commit).

Just tested:

$ hg log

Either I have a time machine at home, or changesets 1 was not made
before changeset 2.
