There is not (in Bazaar 2.0.3) a ‘--committed’ option for ‘merge’. I
think you mean::

    cd ..
    bzr branch trunk fix-abc
    cd abc
    bzr merge ../trunk --uncommitted

Don't forget to clean up with::

    cd ../trunk
    bzr revert
    cd ../fix-abc

to prevent the confusion over half-finished changes in the trunk branch.
