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.
