same as nbsd, then. I probably need to read fbsd handbook again

Hopefully not to have bored you too much, Matthew's mention of -F with
mergemaster solved this problem of conversion from csup to svn- yet as you
saw it was already in my .mergemasterrc , that is why I wrote that it
"would have been alright".
I like human interaction in every case where it is beneficial. If you
want to send some guidance, it is welcomed. Other than that, I will let
it be and also study the manual again; i.e. man 8 mergemaster.
Kind regards,
Darrel
