Actually, no. The current tree gets a subdirectory with the same id as
the old tree's root.

Here, before merge, 2 branches:

$lib/
	.bzr/ # Root-id = lib-1111
	file1.c # parent-id = lib-1111, file-id = file1c-1111

$main/
	.bzr/ # root-id = main-2222
	file2.c # parent-id = main-2222, file-id = file2c-2222

After merge
$main/
	.bzr/ # root-id = main-2222
	file2.c # parent-id = main-2222, file-id = file2c-2222

	$lib/ # file-id = lib-1111, parent-id = main-2222
		file1.c # parent-id = lib-1111, file-id = file1c-1111

All that changed is that you added a directory into main. You loose the
.bzr directory in $lib/, which means that no root ids change.

At least that is my first idea about what to do.

Now, if you merged the other way, you could have the same affect in the
"lib" project, by moving the root id to ./lib and creating a new entry
in main.

I suppose it depends on how you look at it.
I see adding $lib to $main to be a change to the $main project, and not
affecting $lib at all (it doesn't even need to know about the combination).
I suppose you could perform the merge on the $lib project, in which case
you would have to change the root id.
