mergetools: add description to all diff/merge tools

2022-04-03T22:10:04Z

The output of `git mergetool --tool-help` and `git difftool --tool-help` only showed the `alias` of each available merge/diff tool. It is not always obvious what tool these `aliases` end up using (ex: `opendiff` runs `FileMerge` and `bc` runs `Beyond Compare`). This commit adds a short description to each of them to help the user identify the `alias` they want. Signed-off-by: Fernando Ramos Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

mergetool: honor mergetool.$tool.trustExitCode for built-in tools

2016-11-29T18:54:03Z

Built-in merge tools contain a hard-coded assumption about whether or not a tool's exit code can be trusted to determine the success or failure of a merge. Tools whose exit codes are not trusted contain calls to check_unchanged() in their merge_cmd() functions. A problem with this is that the trustExitCode configuration is not honored for built-in tools. Teach built-in tools to honor the trustExitCode configuration. Extend run_merge_cmd() so that it is responsible for calling check_unchanged() when a tool's exit code cannot be trusted. Remove check_unchanged() calls from scriptlets since they are no longer responsible for calling it. When no configuration is present, exit_code_trustable() is checked to see whether the exit code should be trusted. The default implementation returns false. Tools whose exit codes can be trusted override exit_code_trustable() to true. Reported-by: Dun Peal Signed-off-by: David Aguilar Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate files

2011-08-19T07:09:19Z

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/. New tools can be added by creating a new file instead of editing the git-mergetool--lib.sh scriptlet. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/134906/focus=135006 Signed-off-by: David Aguilar Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
