+
+Fix the bug in `mergeDeep`;
+
+The following inputs and outputs are corrected;
+
+- `mergeDeep([{a:2}, undefined])` - Any nullish values should be ignored so it should return `{a:2}`
+- `mergeDeep([])` - no sources should return `undefined`
+- `mergeDeep([undefined])` - no sources should return `undefined`
