Thank you, that seems to work. At least, it does not give
an error message and the command output looks reasonable.

(I don't know how to demonstrate conclusively that it
actually set the option, because setting this is just
a precaution: I haven't actually run into a case that
invokes the merge-tool-cmd during the kind of merge
that caused the inquiry to arise.)
