Apparently, sorry about that... I don't remember anything about this in
the HACKING ;-).

I think it does, it does steps 2 and 3 for me. I have actually did the
same thing in one step, `merge r X:Y trunk-url' (being in the branch
WC), the way I'm used to in CVS :-) (maybe that was my principal
mistake). Now, I'm not sure if this brings forth any database space
issues, but with a single revision 6715 I have the same result as you
would have, and I saved two revision numbers ;-).
Anyway, I can follow this recommended procedure from now on. I'm just
curious, why steps 1-3 instead of one step? Thank you!
Sergey.
