>Description:
When upgrading a machine to 9.1-PRERELEASE, mergemaster is
painfull, because many quiete recent files are replaced with
files with old ident.
E.g.:
$ ident /etc/hosts /etc/shells /etc/csh.cshrc
/etc/hosts:
$FreeBSD: stable/9/etc/hosts 109997 2003-01-28 21:29:23Z dbaker $
/etc/shells:
$FreeBSD: stable/9/etc/shells 59717 2000-04-27 21:58:46Z ache $
/etc/csh.cshrc:
$FreeBSD: stable/9/etc/csh.cshrc 50472 1999-08-27 23:37:10Z peter $
>How-To-Repeat:
Check ident of many files under /etc.
>Fix:
Force commit of these oldies.
