I don't think that's really necessary. The "Merging adds and removals" section
comes after three
sections which explain branching and merging pretty explicitly, including
specifying that '-j
BRANCH' or "two '-j REVISON' flags" are necessary. These are all subnodes (or
subsections in HTML
& PS) of the "Branching & merging" section. On a consecutive reading I think
the extra note would
sound pretty redundant.
Feel free to argue if you like, of course.
