[PATCH 3/3] git-mergetool: add new merge tool TortoiseMerge

TortoiseMerge comes with TortoiseSVN or TortoiseGit for Windows. It can only be used as a merge tool with an existing base file. It cannot be used without a base nor as a diff tool.

The documentation only mentions the slash '/' as command line option prefix, which refused to work, but the parser also accepts the dash '-'

See http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=226
