I see. Let’s talk what we can do about that.

The consistent behaviour would be to do nothing on the second invocation
as the cookie would already be there. Unfortunately I just can’t get this to
work. Apart from that it may be more expectable to just generate a new package.
This could be done by doing a reset-package before each package.

This is mainly a documentation issue. Or do you have suggestions for better
names
which more cleanly indicate what is happening?

This is because overrides are done in the merge phase as they merge data,
but I do unerstand this may be not be what is expected. I could relocate
these actions to the package phase.

When uncommitted is printed a summary could be listed after „package“
that lists the reason (read: output of „svn status“).
