One of the operation that we are doing involves adding new annotations to code and using JMerge to propagate these and other changes.

Whenever we only change the annotation, there is no functionality in JMerge to allow us to test for those changes.

Furthermore, these annotations are attached to what is referred to as "Unmodifiable" code that is owned by the generator. Another problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to force replace any section of code. This would allow us to get around this issue. Maybe for others, this would be done in order to format the code differently.

Even if from the test examples we can see this (our rule is based directly on this):
    <!-- force transfer of all unmodifiable elements -->
    <merge:pull 
      sourceMarkup="^unmod$"
      sourceGet="Member/getFlags"
      targetPut="Member/setFlags"/>
to force a transfer, it doesn't really force a transfer, it only makes sure that a transfer will take place if the code doesn't exist in the destination.
