One thing would be to have automatically fetched etc directories so when you
ran it for the first time it would grab a release version of etc for you :)
Hmm.. I'll try and add that if I get some time I think!
Funny you should say that... I had a crack at something similar myself
(see below). But I was hampered by the fact that
a) I had never used CVS before (we use <whisper>VSS</whisper> here but
I'm moving it all to SVN), and
b) I have no idea how the FreeBSD build process works
(I'm a hardcore hacker lol)
Unfortunately it seems that config files for the subsystems (eg SSH) are
stored separately in the CVS tree and I didn't have time to work out
where they live.
While we're on the subject, how do you handle the DB files? I don't see
any special mention of them in the man pages. When I last etcmerged I
glossed over them and haven't had any login problems since.

Here is my effort:
#!/bin/sh
# takes one argument: name of the tag to get from CVS
cd /var/db
# clear out any previous files
rm -rf etc
# fetch new etc files from cvs
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs
cvs login
cvs -QR export -r$1 etc
cvs logout
cd etc
# local adjustment
mv etc.i386/ttys .
# clear out the other platform-specific files
rm -r etc.*
