Hi Trond and Alexus,
The tool used by freebsd-update to merge system files is "merge(1)", not
"mergemaster(8)".
See manpage merge(1)
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=merge&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html
for
more information.
I use mergemaster(8) tool if I deal with sources system upgrade process.

Kind regards,
Alexandre
