This patch gives Koha the ability to merge authority records using the
same interface used by bibliographic records, though slightly different
methods for selecting which records to merge. The two ways to select
records are as follows:
1) Records can be selected from authority search results by clicking
the "Merge" link for two records.
2) Authority records can be merged from the reservoir by clicking the
merge-related links in the Manage staged MARC batch screen.
To test:
1) Apply patch.
2) Do a search for an authority record that will turn up multiple
identical records (or at least two records that you don't mind
merging).
3) Click the "Merge" link for the first record.
4) Click the "Merge" link for the second record.
5) Choose which fields from which record you want to appear in the
resulting record.
6) Confirm that those are the fields that exist in the resulting record.
7) Stage an authority record (for example, an authority record you
saved from your catalog.
8) Search for a record to merge with it using the "Search for a record
to merge in a new window" link.
9) Merge these records, confirming that the resulting record (after
going through the entire merging process) matches your expectations.
10) Set up a matching rule for authorities, and export an authority from
your catalog that will match based on that rule. For MARC21, the
following is a good choice for a rule:
Matching rule code: AUTHPER
Description: Personal name main entry
Match threshold: 999
Record type: Authority record
[Match point 1:]
Search index: mainmainentry
Score: 1000
Tag: 100
Subfields: a
11) Stage the record you just exported, choosing the matching rule you
just created.
12) Merge the record using the "Merge" link, confirming that the
resulting record (after going through the entire merging process)
matches your expectations.

This follow-up moves all the MARC-specific functionality of Koha::Record
(now renamed to Koha::MetadataRecord) to a Koha::Util::MARC utility class.
To test, run relevant unit tests:
> prove t/Koha_MetadataRecord.t t/Koha_Util_MARC.t t/db_dependent/Koha_Authority.t
and optionally try to merge a record.

This patch refactors the merge record interface and code a little bit
in preparation for making it possible to merge authority records.
To test:
1) Apply patch.
2) Try merging two records:
a) Create a list.
b) Add two records you would like to (or be willing to) merge
to said list.
c) View said list.
d) Check the checkboxes next to the two records you added.
e) Click "Merge selected records."
f) Choose a merge reference.
g) Choose fields from each record that you want to keep.
h) Click "Merge."
3) Confirm that your merged record has the fields and subfields you
wanted.
4) Run the unit tests for the two files that were changed:
prove t/Koha_Record.t t/db_dependent/Koha_Authority.t
5) Sign off.

This patch adds the Koha::Indexer::RecordNormalizer and
Koha::Indexer::MARC::RecordNormalizer::EmbedSeeFromHeadings packages
to enable the inclusion of alternate forms of headings in bibliographic
searches. When the new syspref IncludeSeeFromInSearches is turned on
(default is off) rebuild_zebra.pl will insert see from headings from
authority records into bibliographic records when indexing, so that a
search on an obsolete term will turn up relevant records.
To test:
1) Enable IncludeSeeFromInSearches
2) Add a heading that has an alternate form to a record (for example,
"Cooking" has the alternate form "Cookery," if you have authority
records from LC)
3) Index the zebraqueue (or reindex if you haven't indexed your system
yet)
4) Confirm that if you search for "Cookery" you get the record you
just modified
