My mergemaster.rc has the following directives:

  FREEBSD_ID=yes
  AUTO_UPGRADE=yes
  AUTO_INSTALL=yes
  DELETE_STALE_RC_FILES=yes
  COMP_CONFS=yes

plus some diff options. As this was a system with nothing changed except for 
group, passwd, and csh.cshrc, I expected mergemaster to update all the other 
files. I think from the code the value does not matter for the first three so 
yes would be ok (if I am correct).


As this did not work (as I expected), I retried with mergemaster -rFUi 
getting the same result. What did I do wrong?


I was afraid that was the answer. Dusting off my script seems to be it.
