That's very confusing to me too!

I did notice that attempt_merge() calls elv_merge_requests() (not to be confused
with elv_merged_request()) if it merges the requests.

So it seems there is elv_merge_requests() which means the request was merged,
and elv_merged_request() which means the request was *not* merged...  I have no
idea what is going on there :-(

Thanks.

Jens, Christoph, etc., anyone else want to take a look too?
