It just opens 4 files that, as you noted, do not exist... but that's ok with vim: it will open 4 buffers named after the provided filenames and only save them to disk when running ":w". The result should be something like what is shown in [1], ie. 4 empty buffers named "local", "base", "remote" and "merged" shown with the expected layout. Hope this helps! Fernando.
