Automatic Merging

The conversion script will merge current releases into release groups if:

they are linked with the earliest release AR and have the same type or
they are linked with the translation/transliteration AR or
they are linked with the part of set AR or
they are linked with the remaster AR and have the same type or
they share the same Discogs URL or
they share the same Wikipedia URL or
they share the same Amazon URL or
they have the same release event with all fields except barcode filled in
they have release event with all fields filled in and all fields except the catalog number are the same

they have release event with all fields filled in and all fields except the catalog number are the same
- These EPs have been release separately, but also in a boxset: Mathematics & With the Invisible. Because of the common release event (for the boxset) their release-group is going to be merged, which is wrong.

they share the same Amazon URL
- http://musicbrainz.org/show/url/?urlid=430700 is going wronly merge all the 3 linked releases. While this one can be fixed now, there are probably others that won't be fixed before the automatic merge.
- this release has a shared ASIN, a PartOfSetRelationship and a EarliestReleaseRelationship. Because of this shared ASIN all the linked releases will see their release-groups merged.
