IMHO this isnt something that should be included with mergemaster due to the following things. 1). It should upgrade a file if the files cvs id doesnt match and provide you with a merge option, which it allready does both of those as it is now. 2). Only upgrading files that havent been changed is going to result in a positive false situation where the user actually thinks that his/her system has been fully upgraded and when in fact it hasnt, leaving added lines to files out where they should have been merged in. Preferably also IMHO this patch to mergemaster should be or would be better off renamed to another project and/or an option for people to compile into the system if they wish to have that kind of functionality. E.g: System/Addon for world through the use of a set variable in /etc/make.conf.local or something similiar.

But with all due respect, This just seems like another case of a
"Bike Shed" incident.

not at all.
I've wanted this for a long time..
files that I have not touched are at default state and I wnat them to move to teh new default state. Files I have touched, I want to look at by hand.



Best regards to humor. --c0ldbyte
