I am getting this error:

File ($Local) not found. File ($BASE) not found. File ($REMOTE) not found.

This solved it for me (windows 10):

git config --global mergetool.diffmerge.cmd 
    "C:/Program\ Files/SourceGear/Common/DiffMerge/sgdm.exe
        -merge -result=\"$MERGED\" \"$LOCAL\" \"$BASE\" \"$REMOTE\""
