Is there some reason not to use forcemerge? http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/admin/notes/bugtracker?id=emacs-24.5#n345 *** Forcing a merge: Like 'merge', but bugs need not be in the same state. The packages must still match though (see 'reassign' below). The first one listed is the master. E.g.: forcemerge 123 124 125 ... Note: you cannot merge with an archived bug - you must unarchive it first.
