Multiple windows open when starting sublime merge from the command line

Description

When starting sublime-merge from the command line with smerge <repository_directory>, two sublime-merge windows open: one for the repository in question and one for whatever the last repository open was.

I understand sublime merge is probably set to open whatever the last repository open was, but this is a bit of a pain.

In the long run, a tabbed interface like sublime-text would be ideal. You could re-open all repos that were open when sublime merge was closed, with the tab for the repo specified on the command line active.

But for now I think just disregarding whatever was open last when specifying a repo on the command line would be better.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a repository in sublime merge
2. Close sublime merge
3. Run smerge <repository_directory> from the command line on any (possibly the same) repository
4. See that two windows open

Expected behavior

Just one window should open - the one for the repository passed on the command line
