As the quoting glitch are distributed on both sides

	if $base_present
	then
		eval "$merge_tool_path" \
			-f "$FINAL_CMD" "$LOCAL" "$BASE" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"
	else
		# If there is no BASE (example: a merge conflict in a new file
		# with the same name created in both braches which didn't exist
		# before), close all BASE windows using vim's "quit" command

		FINAL_CMD=$(echo "$FINAL_CMD" | \
			sed -e 's:2b:quit:g' -e 's:3b:2b:g' -e 's:4b:3b:g')

		eval "$merge_tool_path" \
			-f "$FINAL_CMD" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"
	fi

I suspect you can fix only one, and carefully choose which side to
test, and leave the other side broken ;-)

In any case, to minimize disruption to Dscho's patch, I replaced the
"1" with "false" (which will make his patch pass the new test
without other stuff) and tweak its merge into 'seen' to adjust for
the "leftabove" topic.

Thanks.
