Should read "merged_to_RC_1_26_2". Martin Wille already submitted a patch.

I've added a FAQ to the page:

What is the purpose of the merged_to_RC_n_n_n tag?

This tag allows multiple merges from the main trunk to the release 
candidate branch. Without it, merging an initial main trunk fix into the 
release candidate branch would work, but merging a second fix from main 
trunk to release candidate branch would result in a merge conflict. 
Although this procedure seems convoluted, it works much better in practice 
than several prior procedures we tried.
