Fixes #9802. See the issue for the actual vs. expected behavior before this patch.
I have tested this change in my real application and it fixed the problem I was experiencing.
Edit: After thinking about this more, the issue is less clearcut than I thought. Still, I believe the new behavior of
merge
is more correct. I added a long comment aboverelayStylePagination
that explains why this is a tricky issue and why I think replacing the existing edges is the more-correct behavior.Would this be considered a breaking change? In one sense, it is definitely a breaking change. In another sense, it makes the function behave more correctly, and any bug fix can be construed as a breaking change if people relied on the buggy behavior.
