2022-04-03mergetools: add description to all diff/merge toolsFernando Ramos
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 <greenfoo@u92.eu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-10-13mergetools/xxdiff: prevent segfaults from stopping difftoolDavid Aguilar
Users often use "git difftool HEAD^" to review their work, and have "mergetool.prompt" set to false so that difftool does not prompt them before diffing each file. This is very convenient because users can see all their diffs by reviewing the xxdiff windows one at a time. A problem occurs when xxdiff encounters some binary files. It can segfault and return exit code 128, which is special-cased by git-difftool-helper as being an extraordinary situation that aborts the process. Suppress the exit code from xxdiff in its diff_cmd() implementation when we see exit code 128 so that the GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF loop continues on uninterrupted to the next file rather than aborting when it encounters the first binary file.

2016-12-19Merge branch 'da/mergetool-xxdiff-hotkey'Junio C Hamano
The way to specify hotkeys to "xxdiff" that is used by "git mergetool" has been modernized to match recent versions of xxdiff. * da/mergetool-xxdiff-hotkey: mergetools: fix xxdiff hotkeys
2016-12-11mergetools: fix xxdiff hotkeysDavid Aguilar
xxdiff was using a mix of "Ctrl-<key>" and "Ctrl+<key>" hotkeys. The dashed "-" form is not accepted by newer xxdiff versions. Use the plus "+" form only. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-11-29mergetool: honor mergetool.$tool.trustExitCode for built-in toolsDavid Aguilar
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.

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/. 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 <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
