Tell me more about how you are trying the 'recognize merge'. It is a pretty unsophisticated thing, as it trusts the commit message in the first place. But when it works, it works.

I have a more refined merge detection already working in the Arch imports -- patch coming soon -- but with cvs it is pretty hard to do.
