[news.eclipse.rt.eclipselink] Re: merge does not copy basic mappings

[james.sutherland@xxxxxxxxxx (James )]

Thanks for isolating this.  The bug occurs when a new object is merged 
twice in the same transaction.  Please log a bug for this and include you 
test.

The bug is in MergeManager.mergeChangesOfCloneIntoWorkingCopy() as it uses 
a cascadeOnly merge if the object is new.

I think a workaround would be to flush after the first merge.
