[PATCH 3/3] mergetool: use shell variable magic instead of `awk`

From
Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>
Date
Jun 10, 2019, 08:59 UTC
Message-ID
<d6675b02918364736ec74db937481127ab7d8990.1560152205.git.j6t@kdbg.org>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1560152205.git.j6t@kdbg.org>

git-mergetool spawns an enormous amount of processes. For this reason, the test script, t7610, is exceptionally slow, in particular, on Windows. Most of the processes are invocations of git, but there are also some that can be replaced with shell builtins. Avoid repeated calls of `git ls-files` and `awk`.
