I recently began testing mergemaster -U since the perpetual "review
diff of file I never touched" grows annoying real quick.

Unfortunately I recently discovered that it does not seem to do what
you might expect. For example it nuked my mailer.conf on one machine,
and my /etc/namedb/named.conf (!!!) on another machine.

Is this a bug or intended? What is the intended functionality of -U?
