Do not understand "Reverse the commit"

[Sherry520]

General overview of your idea.

Git Tools - Advanced Merging -- Reverse the commit

What is the meaning of "There’s nothing in topic that isn’t already reachable from master."?
From the commit history, at commit ^M, C4 has been merged into master, although git revert has reverted to C6 state. So git merge topics doesn't merge again.
Does this mean that because the topic branch has no new content, it cannot be merged into the master?

What problem will this solve?

Have you thought about other solutions?

No response
