Someone already mentioned dropping "local" here.

The GIT_DIFFTOOL*_PROMPT variables are implementation details about how git-difftool passes options to git-difftool--helper. We don't advertise them in the documentation so we probably shouldn't support them aside from what is needed for git-difftool. We can drop this part.

61ed71dc just recently removed git-difftool--helper's use of GIT_MERGE_TOOL based on this rationale.

git-difftool falling back to mergetool.prompt when difftool.prompt is not available is good, especially since we advertise that feature.

Once you drop the local declarations and the env. variable it should be good to go. Patch v2, soon?
