[Developers] how to determine a topic has been merged with another one?

[Augusto Callejas]

ah okay, so the query would be:

===
{
  "master_property" : "/dataworld/gardening_hint/replaced_by",
  "source" : {
    "guid" : "#9202a8c04000641f8000000000544767"
  },
  "target" : {
    "guid" : null
  },
  "type" : "/type/link"
}
---
{
  "master_property" : "/dataworld/gardening_hint/replaced_by",
  "source" : {
    "guid" : "#9202a8c04000641f8000000000544767"
  },
  "target" : {
    "guid" : "#9202a8c04000641f8000000006d3caa0"
  },
  "type" : "/type/link"
}
===

thanks,
augusto.

I use it every day.
