Right, I have the same issue with mergemaster ever since I redirected
stdout from 'make distribution' to /dev/null.

John is correct that I simply copied the existing example, my assumption
at the time was that 'set -x' there was a cheap way to get some kind of
output to let the user know what was being done (similar to what make
does by default). I will test a patch to change that to echo'ing
something useful to stdout instead unless anyone has an objection.

Don't expect the result soon though, super, super, super busy with
work/life/etc. atm. And as John pointed out, it's been there for a while. :)
