Note that so do pull and apply.

I don't think using unrevert is equivalent, because you might already
have some stuff stored in the unrevert buffer. Also, we should think
through what happens in each case in the case where the unrecorded
changes depend on the patch to be rolled back.

I don't use rollback --record though, so I don't feel strongly about it.
