Thanks Eli, but what worries me is that it looks like one could take a
completely wrong path here after "bzr merge". I might be
misunderstanding something but it looks to me like Alan's quick fix
branch got into a bad state just because he did not do "bzr commit"
immediately.
Is that really true??? If so why does not bazaar protect against this?
