Ouch! hank you for pointing this. I was under impression that remerge touch only files with
conflicts, but in fact it seems remerge entire tree? Strange. I think it's the more serious bug in
remerge behavior than John thinks, because the help for remerge command said:

Examples:
    Re-do the merge of all conflicted files, and show the base text in
    conflict regions, in addition to the usual THIS and OTHER texts:

        bzr remerge --show-base

Note: "Re-do the merge of all *conflicted* files" -- not all files!

This bug makes remerge the dangerous tool.
