Subject: [PATCH] test: Add test case for vMerge's default value of continue
 (#2677)

* test: Add test case for vMerge's default value of continue

This new test case essentially covers the changes in b457ff5f7fadf28f4d62d1fcd5b9ee3424392835.
It ensures the new behavior works as intended and
doesn't break/change by accident in the future.

* docs(changelog): Add note about added test case for vMerge default value
