Following the idea by Sune Stjerneby, suggestions from Andrzej

I would like to request a review of a new mergemaster feature

A new option is added:

Hmm. I'm not sure how useful this will be (not that I object
to it in anyway, I'm just not sure...).
But let me note:

Be careful when trying to add the literal string of $FreeBSD$
to any documentation file. This will look fine when you are
testing it, but when you *commit* it, CVS will expand that
string into the FreeBSD-version information for that file. I
forget what you have to do to get the right results, but you
don't want to have the literal '$FreeBSD$' string in the file.
