You can fix the next serial number with the 'setserial' command. This
will not help of course if you don't notice it right away. In the ssb
test we found several times where ct skipped ahead a series of numbers
on each band, since the number that was in the log is what was sent it
can't be changed or the other guy may get penalized, so I just noted the
gaps in sent numbers on the submission.
Merging does not change serial numbers in recent versions of ct, that
was fixed a long time ago I believe... the actual sent number is stored
in the log so that should come out ok.
The scoring didn't appear to be affected, just the serial number
sequence, in any event the log will be rescored after submission anyway.
