I'm sorry to say that I can't help. I tried to disentangle what is going on, but this stuff is far too convoluted to be understood in a few minutes. I cannot tell if it is possible to write a mergetool that is not installed with Git.

I would just copy one of the existing tool scripts and run `make install` from the Git source directory.
