The merge worked, an unmerge worked, and a second merge worked.  The
first merge complained about overwriting a bunch of files, all of them
looked perfectly reasonable.  There were no other fifferences between
the twwo merge log.  The resulting /var/db/pkg/... dir had some
differences, almost all in what looked to be md5sums.  I am working
over a slow ssh connection right now, I'll look more into it in a few
days.  I am rerunning ghc-updater again; that's where this whole thing
started.

I was sort of hoping the unmerge would hang.  Not much to debug now,
unless I restore /var/db/pkg ...

I'll post more when ghc-updater is done.
