Description: interactive full screen 2/3-way merge tool
 The imediff command helps you to merge 2 slightly different files with
 an optional base file interactively using the in-place alternating
 display of the changed content on a single-pane full screen terminal
 user interface.
 .
 The source of line is clearly identified by the color of the line or the
 identifier character at the first column.
 .
 The advantage of this user interface is the minimal movement of the line
 of sight for the user.
 .
 The line matching logic of imediff has been improved to ignore whitespaces
 and use partial line matches to provide the best presentation with small
 chunk of lines.
 .
 The automatic 3 way merge logic of the imediff command operates not only on
 the difference by line but on the difference by character.  This is another
 great feature of the imediff command. So for the non-overlapping changes,
 it always yields the clean merge.
 .
 The "git ime" command helps you to unsquash 2 consecutive commits (`HEAD^`,
 `HEAD`) of a git repository.  The "git rebase -i <treeish>" and "gitk" can
 be used to organize unsquashed changes.
 .
 If any staged changes or local uncommitted changes are found in the git
 repository, "git ime" immediately exits without changes to be on the
 safe side.
 .
 If the latest commit involves multiple files, "git ime" splits this big
 commit by the file into multiple smaller commits involving a single file
 for each commit.
 .
 If the latest commit involves only a single file, the commit is split
 into multiple smaller commits involving a set of minimal partial
 changes by imediff to be managed interactively later.
 .
 This "git ime" is not only useful at the checked out branch head but
 also at "edit" prompt during the interactive execution of "git rebase -i
 <treeish>".  Execute "git ime" after committing the pending commit.
