What does `succeed' mean?

What if multiple partners have mergeable stuff?  Will it merge all?  Just

[BTW, what's `merge' in this context?  star-merge?   Will it return a
non-zero exit status if nothing got merged?]

What's the output format (the default `missing' format is ambiguous in this
case)?
