The documentation is pretty clear: "Forcibly merges two or more bug reports. The settings of the first bug listed which must be equal in a normal merge are assigned to the bugs listed next. To avoid typos erroneously merging bugs, bugs must be in the same package. " It doesn't cause a bug to be listed when repeatmerged=no, change the title, or anything like that.
