git-mergetool spawns an enormous amount of processes. For this reason,
the test script, t7610, is exceptionally slow, in particular, on
Windows. Most of the processes are invocations of git, but there are
also some that can be replaced with shell builtins.

I've measured the number of processes with

  ps; ./t7610-mergetool.sh >/dev/null; ps

on a quiet system and the number of non-git commands invoked with

  strace -e execve -f -o /tmp/git.strace ./t7610-mergetool.sh
  grep 'execve(' /tmp/git.strace | grep -v 'execve(".home' | wc -l

baseline:
15628 pts/1    00:00:00 ps
29413 pts/1    00:00:00 ps

=> 13785 processes
=> 3082 non-git commands

t7610-mergetool: do not place pipelines headed by `yes` in subshells
12620 pts/1    00:00:00 ps
26348 pts/1    00:00:00 ps

=> 13728 processes
=> 3082 non-git commands

mergetool: dissect strings with shell variable magic instead of `expr`
 8766 pts/1    00:00:00 ps
21913 pts/1    00:00:00 ps

=> 13147 processes
=> 2521 non-git commands

mergetool: use shell variable magic instead of `awk`
 2081 pts/1    00:00:00 ps
14393 pts/1    00:00:00 ps

=> 12312 processes
=> 2007 non-git commands

The reduction of processes is not as dramatic as I hoped, but still
more than 10%.
