Package: debbugs Severity: wishlist I propose a forcemerge command (or some better synonym) that would merge bugs, using the first bug listed as a template for the changes to be applied to the other bugs.
IE, if 1 and 2 were bugs with severity serious and important, respectively, you could go: forcemerge 1 2 instead of severity 2 serious merge 1 2 The converse would be: forcemerge 2 1 instead of severity 1 important merge 1 2 [This would just help maintainers easily merge bugs without having to worry about whatever random severity a submitter thought was important, while keeping the traditional behavior for merge so maintainers aren't caught unawares.] Don Armstrong -- I'd sign up in a hot second for any cellular company whose motto was: "We're less horrible than a root canal with a cold chisel." -- Cory Doctorow http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu
