Merge Trains - Weekly Project Plan

We have released fast-forward support for merge trains as well as some additional bug fixes while we were focused on merge train development. We will continue to work towards maturity level “Complete” for merge trains in future milestones. For now, I am closing this particular project plan as the particular feature has shipped.
