[Puppet Users] deep_merge and hiera

After some more digging, I found that the logic of
Hash.merge is reversed with the logic of DeepHash.merge,
so to get the expected results, the hiera/backend.rb must swap its hashes

When you change the merge_answer in hiera/backand.rb
from:

     def merge_answer(left,right)
       case Config[:merge_behavior]
       when :deeper,'deeper'
         left.deep_merge!(right)
       when :deep,'deep'
         left.deep_merge(right)
       else # Native and undefined
         left.merge(right)
       end
     end

to:

     def merge_answer(left,right)
       case Config[:merge_behavior]
       when :deeper,'deeper'
         right.deep_merge!(left) # <- swapped left/right
       when :deep,'deep'
         right.deep_merge(left) # <- swapped left/right
       else # Native and undefined
         left.merge(right)
       end
     end

then the results are what I expected

Fred.
