Re: Feature Request: user defined suffix for temp files created by git-mergetool

Hi Josef,

In several projects, we are using git mergetool for comparing files from different folders.
Unfortunately, when we have opened three files  for comparing using meld tool (e.q. Old_version -- Result -- New_version),
we can see only name of temporary files created by mergetool in the labels (e.g. foo_REMOTE -- foo_BASE -- foo_LOCAL)
and users (and sometime even we) are confused, which of the files should they edit and save.

`git mergetool` just creates temporary files (with some temporary
names) and calls `meld` (or `vimdiff`, etc) with the file names as
parameters. So why wouldn't you call `meld` with the file names you
want?
