At this point the -U option is generally a safer bet. The only time this
won't work for you is when upgrading from an older -RELEASE where you've
never run mergemaster previously, in which case it will bark loudly that
there is no mtree database. You could then run 'mergemaster -Fi' as you
suggested, and run 'mergemaster -U' immediately thereafter and you
should get as much "automation" as is possible.
