While this starts vim, it will use vim's internal diff viewer.

But I'd like to see the changes as a unified diff, e.g.

$VIMHOME/diff -u %base %mine | $VIMHOME/vim -

However that will not work, no diff window will be opened ($VIMHOME used in this
mail as placeholder, the settings have the full path configured)
