[PATCH v4 5/6] difftool: make --gui, --tool and --extcmd mutually exclusive

From
Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com>
Date
Apr 25, 2019, 09:54 UTC
Message-ID
<7d7c936cd3dabe95c2b26d46c5b5bb980c26586b.1556185345.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1556185345.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>

In git-difftool, these options specify which tool to ultimately run. As a result, they are logically conflicting. Explicitly disallow these options from being used together.
