I should hasten to point out that 99.9% of the remote stuff is Martin's
work.  I added a single line in there.

Well, I can do that, but merge doesn't support remote branches yet.  And
you might want to have more than one merge source, whereas I think it
makes sense to have just one pull source.

Err, what changesets?  I come from the Arch land, and in Arch, you
*refer* to the revisions you merged, but you don't *represent* those
revisions in any way.

So I've never been really clear on this concept that a merge changeset
should bundle up other changesets inside it.  Since merges may require
manual adjustment, the bundled changesets aren't what's been merged, anyhow.
