Note you shouldn't use mergemaster any more. It works fine for upgrading
to 13, but after that, I'd expect problems because it relies on the old
VCS tags. Use etcupdate instead, see here for details:
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/252417>

It's also documented in the handbook:
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/#makeworld>
