[PATCH] merge-recursive: configurable 'merge' program

[Sam Vilain <sam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For those who like to spawn interactive merge tools on a merge failure
or otherwise run some kind of script, allow a "merge.tool" repo-config
option that will take arguments as merge(1) does.

Here's the script I use:

#!/bin/sh

output=`mktemp -p . .merge_file_XXXXXX`
branch1="$7"
branch2="$9"
ancestor="$8"

cp $branch1 $output

if merge -L $2 -L $4 -L $6 $output $ancestor $branch2
then
    mv $output $branch1
    exit 0
else

    rm $output

    emacs --eval "(ediff-merge-files-with-ancestor \"${branch1}\" 
\"${branch2}\" \"${ancestor}\" nil \"${output}\")"

    if [ -s "$output" ]
    then
        mv $output $branch1
        exit 0
    else
        exit 1
    fi
fi
