The documentation on MERGE gives the following example:

MATCH (charlie:Person { name:'Charlie Sheen' }),(wallStreet:Movie { title:'Wall 
Street' })
MERGE (charlie)-[r:ACTED_IN]->(wallStreet)
RETURN r

It states that "Charlie Sheen had already been marked as acting on Wall 
Street, so the existing relationship is found and returned. " My question 
is what if the nodes 'charlie' and 'wallstreet' exist but there is no 
'ACTED_IN' relationship? Also to further complicate things say that Person 
has a constraint on 'name' to be unique and Movie has a constraint on 
'title' to be unique. Since there is (in my scenario) no 'ACTED_IN' 
relationship MERGE fails to match but also because of the constraits *all*of 
the nodes cannot be created. So in this case will the RETURN r be null?
