meson: fix MERGE_TOOL_DIR with "--no-bin-wrappers"
On Windows, we execute tests with "--no-bin-wrappers". This has been introduced via a87e427e35 (ci: speed up Windows phase, 2019-01-29) to save some time: spawning processes is expensive on Windows, and shell scripts tend to spawn a bunch of them. So overall, the bin-wrappers led to a performance overhead of ~10-30%. This causes test failures when using Meson on Windows: failure: t7610.28 mergetool --tool-help shows recognized tools ++ git mergetool --tool-help /d/a/git/git/build/git-mergetool--lib: line 45: cd: D:/a/git/git/build/mergetools: No such file or directory The root cause here is that our bin-wrappers are usually responsible for setting up the `MERGE_TOOL_DIR` environment variable so that we can locate these scripts. But as we don't use the bin-wrappers, we'll instead use the default location for merge tools, which is derived from `GIT_EXEC_PATH`. And as `GIT_EXEC_PATH` points to our build directory, which won't ever contain any of the merge tools, we will fail to locate any of the merge tools. This issue has went unnoticed for a long time given that we only skip bin-wrappers on Windows, and because the CI jobs on Windows didn't execute due to a bug. Fix the issue by always setting the `MERGE_TOOL_DIR` environment variable to the correct directory. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
