Re: [RFH] Add some very basic tests for git mergetool

I tried to add some basic tests for git mergetool but unfortunately I
hit a major stumbling block. I seem to have to include a delay in my
fake mergetool otherwise the cat command didn't seem to work. It was
as though the source file hadn't been writted out yet.

I removed your delay and the test works every time.
Could you strace the test (with "-ff -e open")?

I'm not sure if there's a shell usleep instead of having to "sleep 1",

Just FYI: coreutils' sleep allows for subsecond sleeps.
