I goofed something during mergemaster and devd.conf is messed

I lost practically all of my 'mergemaster pain' when I adopted the
habit of using it with -iUP options:
-i Automatically install any files that do not exist in the des-
tination directory.
-P Preserve files that you replace in
/var/tmp/mergemaster/preserved-files-<date>, or another
directory you specify in your mergemaster rc file.
-U Attempt to auto upgrade files that have not been user modi-

I prefer phooey mode: -FUi. Still works with -PFUi.
