I also recommend the "-i" option
-i Automatically install any files that do not exist in the
destination directory.
The option -U depends on the existence of a database
(/var/db/mergemaster.mtree), witch does not exist the first time. So the
first time you run the mergemaster, you can not use the "-U" option.
But, my advice is, when you install FreeBSD in a computer, run mergemaster
before you upgrade the source code to build the database.
