I checked the man page. There is no direct "ignore" option,
although there is a "strict" option. If you set up an
/etc/mergemaster.rc, you can set up "DIFF_OPTIONS=" value, and there
is an example of how to do that so that it ignores FreeBSD CVS Id
tags.
However, I was talking about ignoring all differences that occur
only in comments (not just FreeBSD CVS Id tags), and it's not obvious
as to how to modify the "DIFF_OPTIONS=" setting to suit. Moreover, I
was hoping for a command-line option to control this setting, and
that it might be set by default -- no /etc/mergemaster.rc required.
