Yes, ‘bzr merge’ should be used to merge. The result will be that the
revision data will be included in the current branch, and the working
tree will be updated with the result of an *automated* merge done by
Bazaar; but importantly the working tree state is *not* yet committed.

This is where an interactive merge tool (like ‘kompare’ or, my current
favourite, ‘diffuse’) steps in: you can view the result of the automated
merge, comparing the resulting working tree state against the tip of the
branch, and decide on further changes before finally doing ‘bzr commit’.
