Mergemaster is not a part of the base system. OpenBSD is and should be a "complete" system, the set of CDs, and in fact, the base download, should be all you need to use it and maintain it. Therefore, the upgradeXX.html documents are written to use obscure and sophisticated commands like cp(1) and mv(1). :) I've got nothing against Mergemaster, people whom I respect greatly use it and recommend it. But unless or until it goes into the base system (and it won't due to OTHER dependencies, as I recall), the official upgrade process won't include it. Feel free to write your own upgrade guide using whatever tools you want. :) Nick.
