Exactly. And even if you take into mind that mergemaster is a
sh script, it's strange that on first invocation - $SOURCEDIR
has been set during shell initialization - it doesn't work, but
on second invocation - $SOURCEDIR has been set manually to the
value it already had - it works as expected. It's probably hard
to explain why this could be considered expected behaviour... ;-)
