[PATCH v1 4/5] diff-merges: introduce log.diffMerges config variable

From
Sergey Organov <sorganov@gmail.com>
Date
Apr 10, 2021, 17:16 UTC
Message-ID
<20210410171657.20159-5-sorganov@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<20210410171657.20159-1-sorganov@gmail.com>

New log.diffMerges configuration variable sets the format that --diff-merges=default will be using. The default is "separate".

t4013: add the following tests for log.diffMerges config:
* Test that wrong values are denied.
* Test that the value of log.diffMerges properly affects both
--diff-merges=default and -m.
t9902: fix completion tests for log.d* to match log.diffMerges.
Added documentation for log.diffMerges.
