Issue description
During resolution of merge conflict using pull-rebase, Notepad++ couldn't open to show the merge description file.
Steps to reproduce
- Pull-rebase on a branch with merge conflicts to ours.
- Resolve the conflicts using kdiff3.
- Save the resolved files.
- Click "Continue" for the rebase process.
- The popup window stays open forever waiting for Notepad++ to open the file.
Did this work in previous version of GitExtensions?
Yes, it should open the Notepad++ editor. Works with Notepad as a workaround.
