I did try `mergemaster -p` and somehow (!) ended up with an empty
`/etc/group` file. Dug myself out of that hole, I'll prefer to
continue using etcupdate.

Specify the path to the directory where you want to do the
make(1).
Thank you, what path would you suggest?
(Given the previous weirdness, I want to make no guesses here.)
1. Your SOURCEDIR is /usr/src/freebsd-current and not /usr/src.
Unlike etcupdate mergemaster checks for Makefile1.inc in the working
directory and asks to set SOURCEDIR accordingly:
*** /usr/src was not found.
Found Makefile.inc1 in the current directory.
Would you like to set SOURCEDIR to /mnt2/src? [no and exit]
Did you see this prompt?
I do not recall seeing that prompt for the first run.
I do recall responding 'yes' during a subsequent run. I did not note the
exact name of the file but Makefile.inc1 is familiar.
2. Do you have (old) files (e.g. Makefile.inc1) or directories
(e.g. etc) in /usr/src?
No. Re: <https://www.reddit.com/comments/keme3b/-/gg87nsj/> and
<https://www.reddit.com/comments/keme3b/-/ggk4we2/?context=1> I was
careful to remove everything before builds and installations began.
Is this problem reproducible? Does it work if use -m switch, e.g:
'mergemaster -m .' or 'mergemaster -m /usr/src/freebsd-current'?
I might experiment when I next update the system.
In the meantime, is it relevant to note that I prefer nano (not vi) for
EDITOR and VISUAL?
IIRC – probably reproducible – after previewing the changes to
/etc/group I keyed 'm' and that's when the on-screen weirdness began.

Many thanks for taking an interest.
