git mergetool indefinite hang on version 2.10+

Hi all,

I have no idea how to debug this. As of git version 2.10.0 git hangs indefinitely when I run `git mergetool`, the result is the same if I run `git mergetool --tool-help`.

The result is identical regardless of which version of vim I have installed, or where vim in installed. It is also the same if I remove my .gitconfig file.

I am on Arch Linux, with all of my software updated to the latest versions as of this morning. git 2.9.3 and lower works perfectly.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
