I'm merging two branches in a project, which both changed the same part of some files in different ways. The "remote" branch is somewhat closer to the common ancestor ("base"), so I want to only show the differences between "base" and "remote"; by default, all lines different in any two files (I think) are highlighted, leaving a large region of highlighting with little useful information. Can I do this?
It would be better if I can simultaneously show the difference between "base" and "remote", and between "local" and "merged"; essentially, two diff sessions in one vim. Is this possible?

I workaround this issue by using a tmux
- open a tmux
- split the tmux horizontally using ctrl-a-double_quote
- open vimdiffs individually
of course , you have to manage scrolling between the windows yourself - but that is the best shot with native vimdiff.

I just learned about tmux today, and that's definitely a fine way to do it! I was about to ask how to do this withgit mergetool, then I realized I can just run:!tmuxfrom the vim spawned by the mergetool, and be ready to go :)
