[rt-users] DO NOT RUN 2.0.10. IT'S BUSTED

[Jesse Vincent]

There's a bug in the merge functionality that changes in 2.0.10 tickled.  I'm still tracking it down, but it 
looks like the system is incorrectly setting some metadata related to a merge for too many tickets when a user
anually merges a ticket. I suspect this has been going on for quite a while and that 2.0.10 is the first release
that actually relies on this metadata for stripping merged tickets out of search displays.   

It looks like it should be relatively painless to restore your database to a good state if this bug hit you

More info to come later.

From that point on, no matter what I do, it makes all the other new tickets dissappear, and it just shows the ticket I merged, nothing else.  no changing of the search parameters will help, the search just thinks that 1 ticket is the only ticket in the entire db.  If I type in an individual ticket # and go to it, it's fine...
