mergemaster run with -F  still prompting to update the same file

mergemaster(8) has -F option which allows you to merge the files if the file
header has updated or changed. Git doesn't do ident tag expansion so in file
header you have now only $FreeBSD$. When both -FU options are used, mergema=
ster
prompts only to merge when the header is different. When the header is in s=
vn
style, after updating the ident tag mergemaster doesn't ask again for updat=
ing
the same file in second and subsequent runs. The transition to git has brok=
en
this feature and mergemaster prompts for the merge or update also in second=
 and
subsequent runs. Please compare the attached script.
