As the quoting glitch are distributed on both sides if $base_present then eval "$merge_tool_path" \ -f "$FINAL_CMD" "$LOCAL" "$BASE" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED" else # If there is no BASE (example: a merge conflict in a new file # with the same name created in both braches which didn't exist # before), close all BASE windows using vim's "quit" command FINAL_CMD=$(echo "$FINAL_CMD" | \ sed -e 's:2b:quit:g' -e 's:3b:2b:g' -e 's:4b:3b:g') eval "$merge_tool_path" \ -f "$FINAL_CMD" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED" fi I suspect you can fix only one, and carefully choose which side to test, and leave the other side broken ;-) In any case, to minimize disruption to Dscho's patch, I replaced the "1" with "false" (which will make his patch pass the new test without other stuff) and tweak its merge into 'seen' to adjust for the "leftabove" topic. Thanks.
