That seems to be a useful feature. You need to quote the dollar signs, though. However, maybe the best solution is to add a new keyword for mergemaster.rc, so the user can exactly specify which kind of changes should be always installed. So the new -L option (which could still exist as a short-cut) would be the same as the following line in mergemaster.rc: AUTO_INSTALL_DIFF='-I[$]FreeBSD:.*[$]' For example, if someone is not interested in pure white- space changes and changes to #-style comments, he could let those be auto-installed thusly: AUTO_INSTALL_DIFF='-Bb -I#.* -I[$]FreeBSD:.*[$]' What do you think?
