Hello Laurent,
	Thanks for your reply.  I just got back from vacation today, so I just looked at your emails today.

That makes sense, but I think where I may be running into problems is that A and B are in different 
resources, but the same resource set.  We are trying a MatchService.doMatch(A1, A2), so that will 
only see the changes to A and not to B?

We tried switching to a doResourceSetMatch(...), but that ran into some problems.  We got a 
DiffResourceSet back, but DiffResourceSet.getSubDiffElements() returns an empty array so we have 
nothing to merge with.  Looking into the DiffResourceSet I can see it has a "root" object that is 
contained by a DifferenceImpl (of some type).

Is there an example of how to merge differences between resource sets?

Thanks for your help!
