monster# ls -l /usr/src /usr/src2

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)
