[PATCH] mergetool: use more conservative temporary filenames

From: David Aguilar <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:02:40
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Avoid filenames with multiple dots so that overly-picky tools do
not misinterpret their extension.

Previously, foo/bar.ext in the worktree would result in e.g.

	foo/bar.ext.BASE.1234.ext

This can be improved by having only a single .ext and using
underscore instead of dot so that the extension cannot be
misinterpreted.  The resulting path becomes:

	foo/bar_BASE_1234.ext
