It sounds like mergemaster that DragonFly team has replaced to 'make
upgrade'. I am not going to lie, I think it is mistake to not use
mergemaster if DragonFly doesn't has another better solution other than
'make upgrade'. I think, mergemaster does the better job than what 'make
upgrade' can offer as far from what I can see is that the 'make upgrade'
has the more problems than mergemaster has.
