git/git-difftool--helper.sh
David Aguilar 47d65924a6 mergetool--lib: simplify API usage by removing more global variables
The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon
the existance of several global shell variables.  This removes more
global variables so that things are simpler for callers.

A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time
run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing
them is justified by the simpler implementation.
