I run it when I notice that things have been changed in
/usr/src/etc from my cvsup logs.  As a side-note, I became
frustrated with mergemaster asking me about a whole bunch
of files that I don't want it to touch.  I filed a PR that
adds an IGNORE_LIST to the mergemaster script that is read
out of the .mergemasterrc.

I apologize for the shameless plug :)
