Mergemaster with Freebsd-Update

I much prefer mergemaster to the freebsd-update (diff) method of merging
configuration files. However, the freebsd community seems to be moving in
the binary upgrade direction. I still build from source so that I can use
mergemaster. Where can I make a feature request to have mergemaster as an
option in a freebsd-update (binary) upgrade?
Also, is the a tool like portsnap for my source tree? I used svn the last
time and downloaded the whole version 10.0 tree. I think I should be able
to apply deltas only for the minor upgrade to 10.1, but google has not been
my friend here. I know that svn has that capability like cvsup did, but I
have not been able to figure it out.
Thanks,
Chris
