Well, I think it is the first closed-source tool that we support, and I 
would feel less unhappy if somebody reported back that she tested it and 
it works fine.

For the future, it might be better if mergetool could be configured using 
/etc/gitconfig to call the merge helper properly.  Then we would not need 
to clutter git.git with properietary stuff, but could just have the 
Windows-specific handling in Git for Windows.

Ciao,
