I think these days we need (by default) /etc/mergemaster.rc filled in
with something like this:

DIFF_OPTIONS='-I$FreeBSD:.*[$] -I$NetBSD:.*[$]'
IGNORE_FILES='/etc/motd'

Else there is lots of annoyance running mergemaster first time
and after each release and there will be lots of questions/complains
about this.
