AKA Hi Doug,

This I stumbled upon when I upgraded a system in the "mergemaster -p" fase:

     *** How should I deal with the merged file? [Leave it for later] r
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/group,v 1.19.2.1  | # $FreeBSD: src/etc/group,v 1.19.2.3
%r
wheel:*:0:root,roelof,jc,hans         | wheel:*:0:root
%l
staff:*:20:root,roelof,jc,hans        | staff:*:20:root
                                       > sshd:*:22:
%

Ah, so that's why the previous system did not show this 'minor detail'.
It had the default staff group :).

Of course one can opt for the "e l" or so option, which I did, but it was
the very first time, I think, that I "needed" that specific feature.

IOW, it was the first time - for me - that it combined mutually incompatible
changes. It would be easier for the bone lazy ones amongst us if it did not :).

It's not a bug as such, not a change request either. It's just, well, ...
something I noticed. I reported it as a thing to ponder, is all.

Roelof
