Thanks.

As long as it works when the user uses "two temporary trees" mode without -M/-C, and it keeps working as well as before the change when the user uses "one invocation per matched path" mode with -M/-C, I do not care too deeply about how it is implemented in the script.

I do not use difftool myself, but I would imagine that it is a grave regression, no?
