In the documentation for *session.merge()* method, there is a section on the mechanism of reconciling if the *load=true* is set:
> If the load=True flag is left at its default, this copy process emits > events and will load the target object’s unloaded collections for each > attribute present on the source object, so that the incoming state can be > reconciled against what’s present in the database. If load is passed as > False, the incoming data is “stamped” directly without producing any > history. > I don't quite understand the relationship between "stamped" and without "stamped". The author is apparently trying to contrast something important here, but I just couldn't imagine what a stamp could be here. Could someone explain this process in a newbie-friendlier way please?
