Hi David, Junio,

Appreciate for your comments, I rewrite the "mergetool/meld" to follow your comments and suggestions. It will respect the git config first, then detect the options if no configuration for them, and also reduce the subprocess calling. Both the modified-file and patch-file are appended. Please review again. Thanks

Regards Lin Sun

Subject: [PATCH] Enable auto-merge for meld to follow the vim-diff beharior

Make the mergetool used with "meld" backend behave similarly to how "vimdiff" beheaves by telling it to auto-merge parts without conflicts and highlight the parts with conflicts.
