            Okay, well I've completed this part of the processing, going from
    4.11-R to releng_5_4, and everything seems to be okay. I now need to
    make a custom kernel and to do a portupgrade, but unless something
    goes horribly wrong it would appear that this process was relatively
    painless.

            However, it would be nice if mergemaster could be made to
    automatically accept changes that occur only in the comments of the
    files it is trying to merge. That way, many fewer "fluff" changes
    would be presented during the merge process, and people would be left
    with needing to confirm changes regarding only actual functional code.

            Anyway, thanks again everyone!
