Okay, well I've completed this part of the processing, going from 4.11-R to releng_5_4, and everything seems to be okay. I now need to make a custom kernel and to do a portupgrade, but unless something goes horribly wrong it would appear that this process was relatively painless. However, it would be nice if mergemaster could be made to automatically accept changes that occur only in the comments of the files it is trying to merge. That way, many fewer "fluff" changes would be presented during the merge process, and people would be left with needing to confirm changes regarding only actual functional code.
