Carefully? :)  Seriously ... always use the -P option, and/or add
PRESERVE_FILES in your mergemaster rc file. Watch the changes carefully.
If you have to, do the updates in more than one pass using the -r option
for subsequent runs. Do the simple ones first, then go back and do the
ones that you have to think harder about. I recommend against using the
-U option.

It's not rocket science, it's just like any other system administration
task, it requires careful attention.
