Well for one thing, if a given file has a lot of changes, then I
would like mergemaster to skip over the initial one-line change
that only tells me how some comment now has a new version-number
in it.  Chances are mighty good that the cvs-ID comment tells me
nothing that helps me decide what I want to do, and it wastes
five or six valuable lines on the screen.
