The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon
the existance of several global shell variables. This removes more
global variables so that things are simpler for callers.
A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time
run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing
them is justified by the simpler implementation.

TortoiseMerge comes with TortoiseSVN or TortoiseGit for Windows. It can
only be used as a merge tool with an existing base file. It cannot be
used without a base nor as a diff tool.
The documentation only mentions the slash '/' as command line option
prefix, which refused to work, but the parser also accepts the dash '-'

Under Windows vimdiff and gvimdiff are not available as symbolic links,
but as batch files vimdiff.bat and gvimdiff.bat. These files weren't
found by 'type vimdiff' which led to the following error:
The merge tool vimdiff is not available as 'vimdiff'
Even if they were found, it wouldn't work to invoke these batch files
from git-mergetool.
To solve this, use vim and gvim (vim.exe and gvim.exe) and pass the -d
command line switch over to them.

The previous fix to mergetool to use checkout-index instead of cat-file

This fixes it by using the correct relative paths for temporary files

git mergetool listed some candidates for mergetools twice, depending on
the environment.
This slightly changes the behavior when both KDE_FULL_SESSION and
GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID are set at the same time; in such a case
meld is used in favor of kdiff3 (the old code favored kdiff3 in such a
case), but it should not matter in practice.

When run from the command line, ECMerge does not automatically use the same
settings for a merge / diff that it would use when starting the GUI and loading
files manually. In the first case the built-in factory defaults would be used,
while in the second case the settings the user has specified in the GUI would
be used, which can be misleading. Specifying the "--default" command line
option changes this behavior so that always the user specfified GUI settings
are used.

Currently git mergetool is restricted to a set of commands defined
in the script. You can subvert the mergetool.<tool>.path to force
git mergetool to use a different command, but if you have a command
whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current tools then
you would have to write a wrapper script for it.
This patch adds two git config variable patterns which allow a more
flexible choice of merge tool.
If you run git mergetool with -t/--tool or the merge.tool config
variable set to an unrecognized tool then git mergetool will query the
mergetool.<tool>.cmd config variable. If this variable exists, then git
mergetool will treat the specified tool as a custom command and will use
a shell eval to run the command with the documented shell variables set.
mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode can be used to indicate that the exit
code of the custom command can be used to determine the success of the
merge.

This commit adds a mechanism to provide absolute paths to the
external programs called by 'git mergetool'. A path can be
specified in the configuation variable mergetool.<tool>.path.
The configuration variable is similar to how we name branches
and remotes. It is extensible if we need to specify more details
about a tool.
The mechanism is especially useful on Windows, where external
programs are unlikely to be in PATH.

A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with
while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac
and similar. I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the
body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance. It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git
scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change.
A few loops have had their termination condition expressed
differently.
