>Description:
It would be nice to have the option of forcing mergemaster
to ignore certain critical files to speed up the process.
This would allow for greater administrative flexibility.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run megemaster :)
>Fix:
The following patch to meremaster creates an IGNORE_LIST supplied
from the administrator's/root's .mergemasterrc file.

And here is an excerpt from my .mergemasterrc showing how I use this:
