Hi Junio,

thank you very much for the tips. I'll make new patch with a simpler code.

| If you initialize these to LOCAL, REMOTE, etc. instead of empty,
| wouldn't it make the remainder of the code a lot simpler?  For
| example,
| 
| > +	if [ "$local_name" != "" ]  && [ "$local_name" != "$remote_name" ] && [
| > "$local_name" != "$backup_name" ] && [ "$local_name" != "$base_name" ]
| > +	then
| > +		LOCAL="$MERGETOOL_TMPDIR/${BASE}_${local_name}_$$$ext"
| > +	else
| > +		LOCAL="$MERGETOOL_TMPDIR/${BASE}_LOCAL_$$$ext"
| > +	fi
| 
| This can just be made an unconditional
| 
| 	LOCAL="$MERGETOOL_TMPDIR/${BASE}_${local_name}_$$$ext"
| 
| without any "if" check in front.  The same for all others.
| 
| The conditional you added is doing two unrelated things.  It is
| trying to switch between an unset $local_name and default LOCAL,
| while it tries to make sure the user did not give the same string
| for two different things (which is a nonsense).  It is probably
| better to check for nonsense just once just before all these
| assuments of LOCAL, REMOTE, etc. begins, not at each point where
| they are set like this patch does.
