* jm/mergetool-pathspec (2011-06-22) 2 commits
- mergetool: Don't assume paths are unmerged
- mergetool: Add tests for filename with whitespace

I think this is a good idea, but it probably needs a re-roll.
Cf. $gmane/176254, 176255, 166256

What's the plan for this series? Do we still want to pursue it within the
timeframe for the next round?

Is there any mergetool/difftool expert who volunteers to help moving this
topic forward?

I'd love this to stay alive. As I've mentioned before, my relationship with shell is tenuous. My biggest problem is I don't have a mental model of how quoting works, so I end up writing tests and performing trial-and-error until it works.

Why do you need a loop here in the else clause, instead of just a single:

	files=$(git ls-files -u -- "$@" |...)

See above (the dumb loop isn't necessary; your suggestion is much better). Should I bother re-submitting with just this change?
