2013-02-03doc: generate a list of valid merge toolsDavid Aguilar
Use the show_tool_names() function to build lists of all the built-in tools supported by difftool and mergetool. This frees us from needing to update the documentation whenever a new tool is added. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-01-29mergetool--lib: simplify command expressionsDavid Aguilar
Update variable assignments to always use $(command "$arg") in their RHS instead of "$(command "$arg")" as the latter is harder to read. Make get_merge_tool_cmd() simpler by avoiding "echo" and $(command) substitutions completely. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-29mergetools: simplify how we handle "vim" and "defaults"David Aguilar
Remove the exceptions for "vim" and "defaults" in the mergetool library so that every filename in mergetools/ matches 1:1 with the name of a valid built-in tool. Define the trivial fallback definition of shell functions in-line in git-mergetool-lib script, instead of dot-sourcing them from another file. The result is much easier to follow.

2013-01-28mergetool--lib: don't call "exit" in setup_toolJohn Keeping
This will make it easier to use setup_tool in places where we expect that the selected tool will not support the current mode. We need to introduce a new return code for setup_tool to differentiate between the case of "the selected tool is invalid" and "the selected tool is not a built-in" since we must call setup_tool when a custom 'merge.<tool>.path' is configured for a built-in tool but avoid failing when the configured tool is not a built-in.

2013-01-28mergetool--lib: improve show_tool_help() outputDavid Aguilar
Check the can_diff and can_merge functions before deciding whether to add the tool to the available/unavailable lists. This makes "--tool-help" context-sensitive so that "git mergetool --tool-help" displays merge tools only and "git difftool --tool-help" displays diff tools only.

2013-01-25git-mergetool: don't hardcode 'mergetool' in show_tool_helpJohn Keeping

2013-01-25git-mergetool: remove redundant assignmentJohn Keeping
TOOL_MODE is set at the top of git-mergetool.sh so there is no need to set it again in show_tool_help. Removing this lets us re-use show_tool_help in git-difftool.

2012-10-01Merge branch 'da/mergetool-custom'Junio C Hamano
The actual external command to run for mergetool backend can be specified with difftool/mergetool.$name.cmd configuration variables, but this mechanism was ignored for the backends we natively support. * da/mergetool-custom: mergetool--lib: Allow custom commands to override built-ins
2012-09-25mergetool--lib: Allow custom commands to override built-insDavid Aguilar
Allow users to override the default commands provided by the mergetools/* scriptlets. Users occasionally run into problems where they expect to be able to override the built-in tool names. The documentation does not explicitly mention that built-ins cannot be overridden, so it's easy to assume that it should work. Lift this restriction so that built-in tools are handled the same way as user-configured tools. Add tests to guarantee this behavior. A nice benefit of this change is that it protects users from having future versions of git trump their custom configuration with a new built-in tool.

Code Compare is a commercial file comparison tool for Windows, see http://www.devart.com/codecompare/ Version 2.80.4 added support for command line arguments preceded by a dash instead of a slash.

2012-07-23mergetool: support --tool-help option like difftool doesJunio C Hamano
This way we do not have to risk the list of tools going out of sync between the implementation and the documentation. In the same spirit as bf73fc2 (difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help', 2012-03-29), trim the list of merge backends in the documentation. We do not want to have a complete list of valid tools; we only want a list to help people guess what kind of things the tools do to be specified there, and refer them to --tool-help for a complete list.

2011-08-19mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate filesDavid Aguilar
Individual merge tools are now defined in a mergetools/$tool file which is sourced at runtime. The individual files are installed into $(git --exec-path)/mergetools/.

2011-05-26git-mergetool--lib: Make vimdiff retain the current directoryDavid Aguilar
When using difftool with vimdiff it can be unexpected that the current directory changes to the root of the project. Tell vim to chdir to the value of $GIT_PREFIX to fix this. Care is taken to quote the variable so that vim expands it. This avoids problems when directory names contain spaces.

2011-05-01Pass empty file to p4merge where no base is suitable.Ciaran Jessup
Modify the p4merge client command to pass a reference to an empty file instead of the local file when no base revision available. In the situation where a merge tries to add a file from one branch into a branch that already contains that file (by name), p4merge currently seems to have successfully automatically resolved the 'conflict' when it is opened (correctly if the files differed by just whitespace for example) but leaves the save button disabled. This means the user of the p4merge client cannot commit the resolved changes back to disk and merely exits, leaving the original (merge-conflicted) file intact on the disk. Provide an empty base file to p4merge so that it leaves the save button enabled. This will allow saving of the auto-resolution to disk.

2011-02-25mergetool-lib: call vim in readonly mode for diffsMichael J Gruber
When [g]vimdiff is called for files which are opened already, the editor complains about the existing swap file. But we do not want to write anything when called from difftool. So, make difftool use "-R" for the vim family. This - prevents the use of a swap file and - marks the buffers readonly.

2010-09-15mergetool-lib: add a three-way diff view for vim/gvimDan McGee
When the base version is available, use a three-way, four panel view by default. This shows the (local, base, remote) revisions up top and the merged result by itself in the lower pane. All revisions will still scroll together by default, and the cursor still defaults to the merged result edit pane.

2010-08-20mergetool: Remove explicit references to /dev/ttyCharles Bailey
mergetool used /dev/tty to switch back to receiving input from the user via inside a block with a redirected stdin. This harms testability, so change mergetool to save its original stdin to an alternative fd in this block and restore it for those sub-commands that need the original stdin.

2010-01-29add shebang line to git-mergetool--lib.shJeff King
Even though this script is expected to be sourced instead of executed on its own, the #!/bin/sh line provides simple documentation about what format the file is in. In particular, the lack of such a line was confusing the valgrind support of our test scripts, which assumed that any executable without a #!-line should be intercepted and run through valgrind. So during valgrind-enabled tests, any script sourcing this file actually sourced the valgrind interception script instead.

2009-05-09mergetool--lib: specialize diff options for emerge and ecmergeDavid Aguilar
The ecmerge documentation mentions the following form: ecmerge --mode=diff2 $1 $2 Since git-difftool is about diffing, we should use that instead of --mode=merge2.

2009-04-12mergetool--lib: simplify API usage by removing more global variablesDavid Aguilar
The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon the existance of several global shell variables. This removes more global variables so that things are simpler for callers. A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing them is justified by the simpler implementation.
