Re: How does merge-tracking work

No success I'm afraid.

In fact the merge performed in the new repository seemed to have
conflicts.

In reality this should not have been possible since no changes have
occurred which should have resulted in 0 conflicts.
However as noted this operation seems to result in a merge of all
revisions.
