Note: The above left in the response not because I have any comment
on or objection to it but because it is relevant to the comment on
the next hunk.

The caller of this funciton used to get the status from running
$merge_tool_cmd, but now it gets the result from check_unchanged.

Maybe that is more correct thing to report, but this does change the
behaviour, no?

    ... goes and looks ...

Ahh, the assignment to $status before running check_unchanged was not
doing anything useful, because check_unchanged stomped on $status
before it returned anyway.

So the net effect of this hunk to the caller's is unchanged.  It is
a bit tricky but the end result looks correct.
