Hello,

It seems that support of "--output" by meld is performed by grepping its help output. However with meld 3.12 I get

$ meld --help
Usage:
  meld [OPTION...]
Help Options:
  -h, --help                 Show help options
  --help-all                 Show all help options
  --help-gtk                 Show GTK+ Options
  --help-gapplication        Show GApplication options
Application Options:
  --display=DISPLAY          X display to use

Yet it still supports --output and can show nice middle instead of <<<<<< HEAD etc. markers.

Thank you, Andrey
