In FreeBSD PR bin/188485, you wrote:

Thanks for your report.
I cannot reproduce this here (11-CURRENT i386) and in the code it looks
like this can only happen if IGNORE_FILES contains both etc/group and
etc/master.passwd, making the temproot empty and making mergemaster do
nothing.
I certainly made the change to find(1) but I don't see how it breaks a
previously working use of mergemaster.
Please provide more details.
