Hi

Would the right command be:
	"$merge_tool_path" -f emerge-files-command \
		"$LOCAL" "$REMOTE"

(without $MERGED) ?

Are you able to save the result to a file with the above
snippet?  I'd prefer to not touch the way difftool deals
with files this late in the RC cycle, and if just
saving within emacs works without changing difftool
to use temporary files then that's even better.

I tried it and didn't notice any difference w/ or w/out
the patch, but if not specifying $MERGED is more
correct then we should do that.

You should have just seen a patch from me.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions.
