Doesn't the "revision bundle" within the merge directive contain all
the necessary information to merge the merge directive?  I thought that
the revision bundle made the public branch/submit branch unnecessary.

I could imaging BB using the submit branch to determine if this is
something that it should consider for merging to bzr.dev or not, but as
far as actually merging the merge directive into a branch of bzr.dev,
shouldn't it work fine without a submit branch?

I'm just trying to clarify my understanding of how 'bzr send' and merge
directives work.  I really love 'bzr send' now that I've discovered
it and learned how to use it.

Thanks,
Colin
