-mergetool.<tool>.path::
-	Override the path for the given tool.  This is useful in case
-	your tool is not in the PATH.
-
-mergetool.<tool>.cmd::
-	Specify the command to invoke the specified merge tool.  The
-	specified command is evaluated in shell with the following
-	variables available: 'BASE' is the name of a temporary file
-	containing the common base of the files to be merged, if available;
-	'LOCAL' is the name of a temporary file containing the contents of
-	the file on the current branch; 'REMOTE' is the name of a temporary
-	file containing the contents of the file from the branch being
-	merged; 'MERGED' contains the name of the file to which the merge
-	tool should write the results of a successful merge.
-
-mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode::
-	For a custom merge command, specify whether the exit code of
-	the merge command can be used to determine whether the merge was
-	successful.  If this is not set to true then the merge target file
-	timestamp is checked and the merge assumed to have been successful
-	if the file has been updated, otherwise the user is prompted to
-	indicate the success of the merge.
-
-mergetool.meld.hasOutput::
-	Older versions of `meld` do not support the `--output` option.
-	Git will attempt to detect whether `meld` supports `--output`
-	by inspecting the output of `meld --help`.  Configuring
-	`mergetool.meld.hasOutput` will make Git skip these checks and
-	use the configured value instead.  Setting `mergetool.meld.hasOutput`
-	to `true` tells Git to unconditionally use the `--output` option,
-	and `false` avoids using `--output`.
-
-mergetool.keepBackup::
-	After performing a merge, the original file with conflict markers
-	can be saved as a file with a `.orig` extension.  If this variable
-	is set to `false` then this file is not preserved.  Defaults to
-	`true` (i.e. keep the backup files).
-
-mergetool.keepTemporaries::
-	When invoking a custom merge tool, Git uses a set of temporary
-	files to pass to the tool. If the tool returns an error and this
-	variable is set to `true`, then these temporary files will be
-	preserved, otherwise they will be removed after the tool has
-	exited. Defaults to `false`.
-
-mergetool.writeToTemp::
-	Git writes temporary 'BASE', 'LOCAL', and 'REMOTE' versions of
-	conflicting files in the worktree by default.  Git will attempt
-	to use a temporary directory for these files when set `true`.
-	Defaults to `false`.
-
-mergetool.prompt::
-	Prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution program.
