It would be really great if you could submit a proper bug report for
this. If there are underlying problems with mergemaster I want to fix them.

Meanwhile, mergemaster doesn't have an 'automatic merging logic' of its
own. It either uses mtree for the -U option, or sdiff if you merge by
hand. Without more information, it's hard to provide more useful
assistance.

Thanks for helping the user with this information. :)
