Verified-1 is set to backported patch if original patch wasn't merged yet

Hi! I'm working on this patch https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/42538/ which is backport to 3.5 of this patch https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/42392/. When I've submitted the backported patch, the original patch wasn't yet merged into master and I got the following message: gerrit-hooks Patch Set 1: Verified-1 Update tracker::#1232419::OK Check Bug-Url::OK Check Public Bug::#1232419::OK, public bug Check Product::#1232419::OK, Correct product Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Check TR::#1232419::OK, correct target release 3.5.4 Check merged to previous::WARN, Still open on branches master Is it correct? Why it sets Verified-1 here? (CI+1 was set after successful build) -- Shmuel
