Dear doc'ers,
what's more, mergemaster is now a *BSD tool... (!)
Albeit it has probably not been very much documented in the past few=20
months, nevertheless it has been widely used under FreeBSD -- as well=20
as under other BSDs.
I have been (ab)using it myself, and yes, I learned about it, as well=20
as about a mumber of administrative issues, from the mailing lists. =20
For the record, it has recently been ("officially") ported to OpenBSD=20
-- cf OpenBSD Ports Collection.
Best regards,
Salvo
