We can't assume that the user of smerge-ediff does not also use smerge.
So it's important to keep a connection between the names used in smerge
and the names used in ediff.  Maybe in your case it's not helpful, but
I think the added text should clarify the problem (and the 5/6 extra
chars may occasionally push the extra info past the truncation, but
this truncation problem exists even without those extra 5/6 chars).

Of course, any tool is free top put the 2 in whichever order they
prefer.  Maybe we should revisit the MINE/OTHER names used so far.
But whichever name we use there will need to also be present in
smerge-ediff.
