If this is a straightforward update, then why use a merge branch at all?

Merge branches are only required when conflicts would occur.

I didn't want to list at least 27 revisions in the STATUS file :)

This makes it easier to merge in.

I could have listed in the STATUS file to merge all revisions from r17139 to 
HEAD at the time for all those files, but we don't seem to do that.  We list 
revisions for many files, not entire revision ranges for several files.

Regards,
Blair
