GIT: Cannot stat file on delete/add

[mergetoolguy]

Hi,

I use diffmerge as a difftool/mergetool for GIT. It works great, however whenever I encounter a diff on a deleted or newly added file, the merge tool does not open and reports: "Error! The file in the left panel [filename] cannot be imported."

I understand why this is happening, but it would be really nice (for the purpose of code reviewing) if the merge tool still opened and loaded the panel for just the existing file.

Is this possible?

I can take a feature request for this functionality if you'd like.

+1 This is the biggest frustration I have with an otherwise-excellent merge tool.
