As you append kcompare or tortoise _after_ the common list, any code
that uses the variable cannot assume that the list is sorted, and
needs to sort the elements if it wants to give a sorted output, so
squashing does not make the Meh-ness go away.

By the way, would it make sense to remove these three variables from
the completion code, and instead ask "git mergetool --tool-help"
when it needs the list of supported tools for the first time?  It
would be trivial to introduce --tool-list that gives a one tool per
line output to both "git difftool" and "git mergetool" and we would
remove the risk of separately maintained list drifting away over
time.
