Ah good it is on the desk.
Fyi, since you seem to like FreeBSD i posted to FreeBSD..

   |+                             if ! egrep -q '^(<<<<<<<|=======|>>>>>>>)(\
   ...

  It is because i have written to postfix-users with the subject
  "(GNU) egrep is obsolescent" right before i read your commit:
  ...

  I'd really prefer not to be annoying about it until we actually plan
  to deprecate it, and I haven't seen a single call for removing it from
  FreeBSD.

  I doubt egrep will ever be deprecated. Too many scripts depend on it.
  And fixing this one is a drop in the bucket. I personally think the warning
  from gnu-grep is bananas...
