[PATCH v4 0/7] mergetools: vimdiff: regression fixes and improvements

Hello,

These patches make vimdiff3 actually work, along with many single window cases.

Since 3 the patches have been reorganized to do the tab reoganization first, and then the rest become simple. I also dropped one intermediate patch which isn't necessary.

Felipe Contreras (7):
  mergetools: vimdiff: fix comment
  mergetools: vimdiff: make vimdiff3 actually work
  mergetools: vimdiff: silence annoying messages
  mergetools: vimdiff: fix for diffopt
  mergetools: vimdiff: rework tab logic
  mergetools: vimdiff: fix single window layouts
  mergetools: vimdiff: simplify tabfirst

    @@ Commit message
         2022-03-30) this was broken by generating a command that never creates
         windows, and therefore vim never shows the diff.
     
    -    In order to show the diff, the windows need to be created first, and
    -    then when they are hidden the diff remains (if hidenoff isn't set).
    -
         The layout support implementation broke the whole purpose of vimdiff3,
         and simply shows MERGED, which is no different from simply opening the
         file with vim.
     
    -    Setting the `hidden` option makes it work as intended.
    +    In order to show the diff, the windows need to be created first, and
    +    then when they are hidden the diff remains (if hidenoff isn't set), but
    +    by setting the `hidden` option the initial buffers are marked as hidden
    +    thus making the feature work.
