The mergemaster with this is test patch (attached) can auto-update files that was not modified.
It do this by compairing each file with it's CVS copy. If file was not modified, it can be rewritten.
This dramatically redices amount of files that require admin's attention.
There is one major problem here: This can be done in single-user mode only if your have local CVS repository, because if local CVS is not exist, anoncvs is used.
Possible solutions:
What about mergemaster storing a copy of the original somewhere on disk for usage next time? Then the first run may still be slow, but following runs will be able to use it.

Mergemaster could keep checksums of known revisions.
it wouldn't take much to have just one file with the last 35 checksums of each file. (maybe with the $FreeBSD$ line removed if it differs..)
