[PATCH v3 1/4] mergetool--lib: simplify command expressions

From
David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com>
Date

In-Reply-To
<7vip6foc9m.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>

Update variable assignments to always use $(command "$arg") in their RHS instead of "$(command "$arg")" as the latter is harder to read. Make get_merge_tool_cmd() simpler by avoiding "echo" and $(command) substitutions completely.

This is a replacement patch for what's currently in pu to
fix the empty "test -z" expression.
