Easy way to answer this category of questions. Do 'mergemaster -v', then 
when you get to the prompt for, "*** The following files exist only in 
the installed ..." hit ^C, then go look at the created temproot 
directory. If the file is in there, mergemaster will deal with it for 
you. If it's not there, mergemaster has no knowledge of it.
