Mention in the Info file the best way to merge two (perhaps just
slightly different) .bbdb files.
Worked for me:
$ diff ~/.bbdb other/.bbdb #see how they differ
$ sort -u ~/.bbdb other/.bbdb /tmp/.bbdb
$ emacs /tmp/.bbdb #removing unwanted items by hand
$ mv /tmp/.bbdb ~
Idea: add a command to duplicate a record, bbdb-clone-record, or
whatever, handy say if we want to add someone to the database whose
details are almost the same as somebody else already in the
database. So we just clone the record and then make minor changes to
the new copy.
