This will make it easier to use setup_tool in places where we expect that the selected tool will not support the current mode.

Sorry about that. The 'setup_tool' function should really be called 'setup_builtin_tool' - it isn't necessary when a custom mergetool is configured and will return 1 when called with an argument that isn't a builtin tool from $GIT_EXEC_PATH/mergetools.

The change is the second hunk below which now wraps the call to setup_tool in an if block as well as adding the "|| return".
