Thanks for the review, Eric.
Hopefully, these changes have addressed the concerns that you've raised.
---
Changes since v1:
* Introduce get_merge_tool_guessed function instead of changing
  get_merge_tool
* Remove unnecessary if-tower in mutual exclusivity logic
Denton Liu (5):
  t7610: add mergetool --gui tests
  mergetool: use get_merge_tool_guessed function
  mergetool: fallback to tool when guitool unavailable
  difftool: make --gui, --tool and --extcmd mutually exclusive
  difftool: fallback on merge.guitool

    -    mergetool: use get_merge_tool function
    +    mergetool: use get_merge_tool_guessed function
     
         In git-mergetool, the logic for getting which merge tool to use is
         duplicated in git-mergetool--lib, except for the fact that it needs to
         know whether the tool was guessed or not.
     
    -    Rewrite `get_merge_tool` to return whether or not the tool was guessed
    -    and make git-mergetool call this function instead of duplicating the
    -    logic. Also, let `$GIT_MERGETOOL_GUI` be set to determine whether or not
    -    the guitool will be selected.
    +    Write `get_merge_tool_guessed` to return whether or not the tool was
    +    guessed in addition to the actual tool and make git-mergetool call this
    +    function instead of duplicating the logic. Also, let
    +    `$GIT_MERGETOOL_GUI` be set to determine whether or not the guitool will
    +    be selected.
    +
    +    Make `get_merge_tool` use this function internally so that code
    +    duplication is reduced.
