mergemaster -i

[John Von Essen]

Question...

I do alot of stable upgrades and as a result I spend alot of time with 
mergemaster. My changes in etc are minimal, so I rather wipe out my 
existing /etc (except for machine specific files like fstab, and so on) 
and have mergemaster install everything from /usr/src/etc. This way I 
don't have to spend time going through all the diffs.

I have found that there is no quick and easy way of doing this. What I 
have been doing is deleting everything in /etc except for certain 
files, then running mergemaster -i. Any thoughts?
