Comment (by theMikeD):

 Replying to [comment:151 boonebgorges]:
 > [attachment:5809.6.patch] refreshes the patch for trunk. The term
 splitting logic is as before: on `wp_update_term()`, if the term being
 updated is shared with another term, assign the updated term with a new
 ID.

 By this do you mean "...if the term being updated is used in another
 taxonomy"? Or "...if the ID of the term being updated is used by another
 taxonomy..."? I don't understand how a term can be shared with another
 term.

 Otherwise the docs are clear to me.
