merge-tools: when calling external merge tool, describe the resolve inputs It is a common complaint that a user will be running some operation (histedit, rebase, evolve, etc.), get into a merge-conflict situation, and not understand what they are seeing - it is possible that the merge tool is configured to display the hash, but it's difficult for most merge tools to display a good snippet of the description. In the worst case, configuring this template will lead to output that is immediately covered by a terminal application, maybe the user can hit ctrl-z to see it. In the common case, the output will be in a terminal window and a GUI program will start, and it should be possible to view both the terminal and the GUI program at the same time.
