>Description:
When trying to upgrade to 7.2 by using
 freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.2-RELEASE
When doing the merge phase of config files, freebsd-update finds every file to be in conflict and so launches $EDITOR file by file for each one, because of the changed Id.

It makes the method practically unusable to upgrade.
