monster# ls -l /usr/src /usr/src2
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  21 Nov  8 08:32 /usr/src ->

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  28 Nov 21 21:08 /usr/src2 ->
/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src

Since the output is so long on the following I have truncated
everything except relivent sections

% cd /usr/src2
% make buildworld buildkernel installkernel;reboot

in single user mode:

% cd /usr/src2
% make installworld
    lots of output
% mergemaster
    lots of output (it does a *COMPLETE* buildworld before doing the
diffs against temproot)

Other info:

    * -DNO_CLEAN and NO_CLEAN= in /etc/make.conf ignored by the
buildworld invoked by mergemaster:

monster# cat /etc/make.conf
WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/ports.workdir
CPUTYPE?=nocona
KERNEL=MONSTER
# added by use.perl 2007-11-19 15:05:31
PERL_VER=5.8.8
PERL_VERSION=5.8.8
NO_CLEAN=

    * Mergemaster buildworld uses /usr/src2 as it's default source path
 
    * -m and -t flags have no effect

What the patch does:

    If -M is specified skips the 4 make's in the empty case for
PRE_BUILD when determining the type of merge to perform.   See BUGS
section of
modified man page.

As far I know I made no such changes... if your refering to extra
context lines in the diff I used cvs diff -Nau as per Kip Macy's
recommendation (this is my first time making a patch against a "live"
cvs repo instead of hand backed up files)
