From: Sebastian Schuberth Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2012 14:22:23 GMT Subject: Unifying mergetool configuration between git and git-gui Message-ID: <500C0C9F.1000709@gmail.com> Hi, I was about to add a configuration for yet another mergetool when I realized that git gui's mergetool.tcl pretty much duplicates git's mergetools/* configuration files. Can some one tell me why this is necessary? I would have expected git gui to simply rely on "git mergetool" to launch the mergetool. Or, in case that git gui needs to use a different tool than the one configured as mergetool, that mergetool.tcl somehow uses the configuration from mergetools/*. Thanks for any insights. -- Sebastian Schuberth
