Sample Merge Request
A Merger Request is a mail message to the merge facility. It is also the way to send your peer reviewer the information he or she needs to review your work.
The definitions required by the merger facility must be satisfied, in order for your work to be successfully integrated into the product's main branch, and included in the next product build. The body of your merge request must begin with the following lines. After this information, you should describe the work done, and append a list of the files changed.
Branch:<ws>name_of_your_branchtype
VOB:<ws>VOBTAG
REL:<ws>RELEASE_ID
[PCR[S]:<ws>COMMA_OR_WHITESPACE_DELIMITED_LIST_OF_PCRS]

RELEASE_ID ::= GENESIS5.0 | DELIVERANCE | LATEST
