  Target Milestone: ---

Currently the merging process let's you select which fields ought to be copied
over to the "winning" record from the "loosing" record(s). Afterwards, the
"loosing" record is deleted (moved to tables "deletedbiblio" etc.). 

One problem with the current solution: You can't tell after the fact, which
deleted record was merged with which existing record. This is bad if you want
to provide stable links to bibliographic records, for citation in research
papers for example: Ideally you would want to be able to redirect to the
"winning" records if somebody calls URL to a deleted record.
