I'm glad you're happy now, but you won't be when you do your next mergemaster run. :) Mergemaster counts on there being a real version number in the VCS Id string to compare against and learn about new versions of files. If the files in your base and the files in the src tree all have identical strings (i.e., they are all equal to $FreeBSD$) then mergemaster will never know that there is a new version available. hth, Doug
