"Included", but not "available". The changes are in your "3.2 clone", 
but not in the "3.2 branch" of the "3.2 clone". Each clone has all 
branches, even if you only "update" to one of them.

So after "hg push", the change is on the "3.1 branch" of the "3.2
clone". The "merge 3.1" tries to merge all changes on the 3.1 branch
that are not already on the 3.2 branch to the 3.2 branch.
