It's probably a good idea.  

If you wanted to avoid bloating nodeModifyTable.c, maybe you could
#include "execMerge.c"

From commit message:

> MERGE does not yet support inheritance,

It does support it now, right ?

From merge.sgml:

"If you specify an update action...":
=> should say "If an update action is specified, ..."

s/an delete/a delete/

".. the WHEN clause is executed"
=> should say "the WHEN clause's action is executed" ?

" If a later WHEN clause of that kind is specified"
=> + COMMA

Looks like this is intended to be in alpha order.

Is it intended to stay in alpha order (?)

The parens around errcode are optional and IMO should be avoided for new code.

so *if* ?

relhassubclass=false is wrong now ?

Why does it say "prepare" ?
I think it means to say "Clean up"

WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES exposes errors in make check:
+ERROR:  targetColnos does not match subplan target list

Have you looked at code coverage ?  I have an experimental patch to add that to
cirrus, and ran it with this patch; visible here:
