I'll reroll a v2 of these patches using echo instead of printf.
The mergetool--lib patch will make the test -z "$GIT_PREFIX"
check happen unconditionally as you suggested, Junio.

Another thought was that I could have implemented the
mergetool--lib patch without $GIT_PREFIX at all and just called
rev-parse --show-prefix explicitly.  The change has merits,
though, and I'll consider mergetool--lib not using rev-parse
as an optimization.  Afterall, fork+exec is expensive on
Windows so doing without an additional call is nicer for our
msysgit brothers.

Thank you both.
