[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63848] Mean: some single class inputs can hit precision limit with sum

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #23, bug #63848 (project octave):

I would try Markus's suggestion in comment #22.  Make the addition of "double"
to the calls to sum() on the stable branch, commit it, then merge stable to
default and see if there are any conflicts.  I would hope that the merging is
actually painless.  If it is not painless then I would try a different trick. 
Do 'hg update -C' on the development branch to forget about the changes you
just attempted.  Change directory to scripts/statistics and copy mean.m to
meantmp.m.  Then do 'hg merge stable' and just accept the changes whatever
they are.  Now copy meantmp.m to mean.m overwriting whatever the conflicts
were.  Now checkin with 'hg ci -m "maint: merge stable to default".
