>Description:
Upgrading from RELENG_4_11 and then to RELENG_5 and from there to RELENG_6_0,
I ran mergemaster -i after each upgrade. The RELENG_6_0 update asked for
heaps of /etc/ files if I wanted to install the upgraded version.

Please change mergemaster so that the "-i" option will silently install
a new file if the only change affects the $FreeBSD: ...$ line.
