Generally, we recommend doing a merge + commit. The merged revisions
will still be available with all the commit info (bzr log -n0).

However, do to user demand, you can also use:

  bzr merge --pull ...

Which will try to pull if it can, and if not, falls back to merge (and
then you need to commit.)

I'm not 100% sure if it works with merge directives, but it should.
