Files and Directories are both paths...

But...

I don't think we ever signed up to support this configuration. mergetool.<tool>.path has always (from my naive reading of the documentation) been the absolute path to <tool>.

I don't think it should have a dual-role where it can be either the tool's parent directory or the path to the tool itself. I would prefer to keep it as simple as possible, if we can.

This section is getting pretty nested. Should we break the handling for configs-that-override-builtins into a separate function?

One last thing -- I tried to fetch from the repo you mentioned elsewhere in this thread but it was offline.
