In addition to the "hasn't been tested" problem just mentioned, what
happens to your local copy? If the changes don't get merged in to your
local copy then you have a local copy (which you just committed) that
doesn't correspond to any version of the repository, and it just gets
messy from there (it seems). So if your local copy does get the merge,
then the commit operation just changed what is in your sandbox...which is
not what I expect.

I prefer keeping the update explicit.
