We used to feed "./foo/bar.ext.BASE.1234.ext"; with this patch we
feed "foo/bar_BASE_1234.ext".  

It does make this particular example look prettier, but is the
droppage of "./" intentional and is free of unintended ill side
effects?

We avoid "local" and bash-isms, so I'd prefer to see us not to
introduce new temporary variables unnecessarily.  I think we can at
least do without basename/dirname in this case, perhaps like so:

        if BASE=$(expr "$MERGED" : '\(.*\)\.[^/]*$')
        then
                ext=$(expr "$MERGED" : '.*\(\.[^/]*\)$')
        else
                ext= BASE=$MERGED
        fi
        BACKUP="${BASE}_BACKUP_$$$ext"
        LOCAL="${BASE}_LOCAL_$$$ext"
        REMOTE="${BASE}_REMOTE_$$$ext"
        BASE="${BASE}_BASE_$$$ext"
        
But I do not have very strong opinion either way.  I just didn't
want to have to think about the leading "./" ;-)
