[PATCH v2 2/4] mergetool: move main program flow into a main() function

[PATCH v2 2/4] mergetool: move main program flow into a main() function

[David Aguilar]

Make it easier to follow the program's flow by isolating all
logic into functions.  Isolate the main execution code path into
a single unit instead of having prompt_after_failed_merge()
interrupt it partyway through.

The use of a main() function is borrowing a convention from C,
Python, Perl, and many other languages.  This helps readers more
familiar with other languages understand the purpose of each
function when diving into the codebase with fresh eyes.

As suggested by Hannes, v2 provides a better commit message.

This is a stylistic choice, but since I was about to start hacking on it,
I couldn't help but notice the organic sprawl that could use some tidying
before adding new features.
