Upgrade from 7.1-RELEASE to 7.2-RELEASE through freebsd update
I tried to upgrade my 7.1-RELEASE into 7.2-RELEASE. However freebsd-update kept asking me to merge every file in /etc whose $Id$ line changed (that makes about all files). Is there a way, as with mergemaster, to make it not consider the $Id$ line for the manual merge ? Thank you. -- Erwan

If I understand well, I can tell not to touch /etc (removing it from MergeChanges), but I would not be able to find what is then needed for mergemaster. -- Erwan
