   * change's current patch set into the destination branch.
   *
   * <p>
   * Typically a change resides in the SUBMITTED for only a brief sub-second
   * period while the merge queue fires and the destination branch is updated.
   * However, if a dependency commit (directly or transitively) is not yet
   * merged into the branch, the change will hang in the SUBMITTED state
   * indefinitely.

   * <ul>
   * <li>{@link #NEW} - when a replacement patch set is supplied, OR when a
   * merge conflict is detected;
   * <li>{@link #MERGED} - when the change has been successfully merged into
   * the destination branch;
   * <li>{@link #ABANDONED} - when the Abandon action is used.
