Merged means roms don't repeat in the child set if the parent set uses
those roms as well. Consider the parent set "puckman" and a clone such
as "pacman". Before merging
puckman: namcopac.6e namcopac.6f namcopac.6h namcopac.6j
pacman.5e pacman.5f 82s123.7f 82s126.4a 82s126.1m 82s126.3m
pacman: 82s123.7f 82s126.4a 82s126.1m 82s126.3m
pacman.6e pacman.6f pacman.6h pacman.6j pacman.5e pacman.5f
And after merging
puckman: namcopac.6e namcopac.6f namcopac.6h namcopac.6j
pacman.5e pacman.5f 82s123.7f 82s126.4a 82s126.1m 82s126.3m
pacman: pacman.6e pacman.6f pacman.6h pacman.6j
Merged sets reduce disk usage.
