[PATCH 4/7] git-difftool: use git-mergetool--lib for "--tool-help"

From
David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID
<1359107034-14606-5-git-send-email-davvid@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To

From: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk>

The "--tool-help" option to git-difftool currently displays incorrect output since it uses the names of the files in "$GIT_EXEC_PATH/mergetools/" rather than the list of command names in git-mergetool--lib.

Fix this by simply delegating the "--tool-help" argument to the show_tool_help function in git-mergetool--lib.
